Meiosis Notes
Meiosis Process of reduction division in which the number of chromosomes per cell is cut in half by the separation of homologous chromosomes in a diploid cell; happens in gametes (sex cells) – sperm & egg
Homologous chromosomes Chromosomes that have a corresponding chromosome from the opposite-sex parent (2 sets of chromosomes, one from each parent)
Diploid vs. Haploid Diploid – a cell that contains both sets of homologous chromosomes (two sets); represented by the symbol 2 N –Found in somatic or body cells (ex. Skin, digestive tract) –Example : Humans – 2 N = 46
Haploid A cell that contains only a single set of chromosomes (one set); represented by the symbol N or 1 N –Found in gametes or sex cells – sperm & egg –Example: Humans – N = 23
Steps of Meiosis • Meiosis usually involves two distinct divisions, called Meiosis I and Meiosis II • By the end of Meiosis II, the one diploid cell that entered meiosis has become 4 haploid cells
MEIOSIS I
MEIOSIS II
Interphase I Centrioles Cell undergoes a round of DNA replication forming duplicate chromosomes. Nuclear Envelope Chromatin
Meiosis I
Prophase I Each chromosome pairs with its corresponding homologous chromosome to form a tetrad
CROSSING OVER SISTER CHROMATIDS SPINDLE TETRAD
• As the homologous chromosomes pair up and form tetrads in Prophase I, they exchange portions of their chromatids in a process called crossing-over • This produces chromosomes with different combinations than the parents
TETRADS Synapsis: Paternal Pairing of Homologous Chromosomes Crossing Over Maternal
Metaphase I Chromosomes attach to the spindle fibers and move to the Middle of the cell
Anaphase I The spindle fibers pull the homologous chromosomes toward opposite ends of the cell
Telophase I & Cytokinesis Nuclear envelopes form & the cell separates into two cells
Meiosis II results in four haploid (N) daughter cells, each with half the number of chromosomes as the original cell
Meiosis II
Prophase II Spindle fiber forms from the centrioles and the chromosomes attach themselves
Metaphase II Chromosomes line up in the center of each cell (similar to mitosis)
Anaphase II The sister chromatids separate and move toward opposite ends of the cell
Telophase II & Cytokinesis Nuclear membranes form and the cells separate into 4 haploid (N) daughter cells
Gamete (Sex Cell) Formation • In male animals (including humans), the haploid gametes produced by meiosis are called sperm • 4 sperm are produced from one meiotic division
Gamete (Sex Cell) Formation • In female animals (including humans), the haploid gametes produced by meiosis are called eggs (ova – plural; ovumsingular)
• The cell divisions at the end of meiosis I & II are unequal, so that 1 large egg is produced and other 3 cells produced, called polar bodies, are not involved in reproduction
