Meiosis – Vocabulary and Notes

What looks similar between mitosis and meiosis? What looks different? Interphase Prophase Cytokinesis Telophase Anaphase Metaphase

Vocabulary- Meiosis Process of reduction division in which the number of chromosomes per cell is cut in half through the separation of homologous chromosomes in a diploid cell.

Vocabulary- Homologous a pair of chromosomes, one from each parent, which carry genes for the same traits.

Vocabulary- Diploid term used to refer to a cell that contains both sets of homologous chromosomes.

Vocabulary- Haploid term used to refer to a cell that contains only a single set of genes.

Check for Understanding A diploid cell has _____ number of chromosomes.

Check for Understanding A haploid cell has _____ number of chromosomes.

Vocabulary- Crossing Over process in which homologous chromosomes exchange portions of their chromatins during meiosis.

Gametes & Zygote � Gametes are reproductive cells that unite during sexual reproduction to form a new cell called a zygote. � Gamete › Ex: Sperm cells & Egg cells › Zygote › Ex: Fertilized Egg- Grows to be a human

› Homologous pairs of chromosomes have genes for the same traits › For each homologous pair, one chromosome comes from each parent

2. Phases of Meiosis a) Meiosis: cell division where the chromosome number is cut in half by separating homologous chromosomes in a diploid cell b) There are two stages: Meiosis I and Meiosis II

Check for Understanding True/False Mitosis produces four haploid cells.

Check for Understanding True/False Meiosis produces identical cells.

Check for Understanding Knowing that a human has 2 N=46 chromosomes. How many chromosomes would you expect to find in a sperm cells?

Check for Understanding How many chromosomes would you expect to find in a white blood cell?

Haploid cells develop into mature gametes � Gametogenesis is the production of gametes � Gametogenesis differs between females and males – Sperm become streamlined and motile – Sperm primarily contribute DNA to an embryo – Eggs contribute DNA, cytoplasm, and organelles to an embryo – During meiosis, the egg gets most of the contents; the other cells form polar bodies
