Meiosis

A process in which the number of chromosomes per cell

is cut in half through the separation of homologous

chromosomes to form gametes, or sex cells

• Two distinct divisions, called meiosis I and meiosis II

In Humans…

•All human body cells have 46 chromosomes (coiled up DNA).

What does that mean?

• Every cell MUST have the same amount of chromosomes.

WHY does every cell have the same amount of chromosomes?

All human body cells (somatic cells) that make up your body came from a single cell.

Somatic cells:

• The 46 chromosomes come in pairs

• These pairs are called homologous chromosomes

Homologous Chromosomes

• Homologous Chromosome: Chromosomes that are the SAME (length and traits).

• Key Point: They are similar, but NOT IDENTICAL

Mitosis Review

• The daughter cells are IDENTICAL to the parent cell

HOW??

• They have the same number of chromosomes

Chromosome Number

• How many chromosomes would a sperm or an egg contain if either one resulted from the process of mitosis?

• If a sperm containing 46 chromosomes fused with an egg containing 46 chromosomes, how many chromosomes would the resulting fertilized egg contain?

• In order to produce a fertilized egg with the appropriate number of chromosomes (46), how many chromosomes should each sperm and egg have?

46

Diploid Cells

•A diploid – when the cell has a full set of chromosomes ( ½ from mom and ½ from dad)

•Somatic cells are DIPLOID cells

•For Humans: DIPLOD CELL = 46 Chromosomes

Haploid Cells

•A haploid – when the cell has half the set ( ½ ) of chromosomes

•Sex cells are HAPLOID cells

•For humans a diploid cell has 46 chromosomes.

•How many chromosomes would a sex cell (haploid) have?

23 chromosomes

In Sexual Reproduction…

• Two haploid sex cells come together to form a diploid cell.

• These sex cells are also called Gametes

Fruit Fly Chromosomes

• Not all organisms have the same number

of chromosomes

• Fruit Fly Example: Somatic Cell has 8

Chromosomes

• Four chromosomes come from its male

parent; Four come from its female parent

• These two sets of chromosomes are

called:

• Homologous Chromosomes

Diploid Cells

• Diploid: Full set of homologous

chromosomes

• Represented by the symbol 2N

• Fruit Fly: the diploid number is 8. (2N = 8)

• Humans: 2N = 46

Haploid Cells

• Haploid: Half set of chromosomes

• Gametes (sex cells sperm, egg) are

haploid

• N = single set of chromosomes in a sperm

or egg cell

• Fruit Fly: Haploid Number is 4 (N = 4)

• Humans: N=23

Gametes to Zygotes •Haploid cells produced by meiosis are gametes:

•male animals – gametes sperm

•plants – pollen contain haploid sperm cell

•female animals – gametes eggs

•plants - egg cell contain haploid cells

•Fertilization—the fusion of male and female gametes—generates new combinations of alleles in a zygote

•Zygote undergoes cell division by mitosisand eventually forms a new organism

• Somatic cells : ______________

• Examples: _________________________________

• Number of chromosomes: _______________

• Gametes: ____________

RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THESE TYPES OF CELLS:Somatic cells will always have ___________ the number of chromosomes as gametes

TWICE

Key differences between types of cells

Check For Understanding:

1. Unlike mitosis, meiosis results in

a) 4 identical, diploid cells

b) 2 genetically different haploid cells

c) 2 genetically different diploid cells

d) 4 genetically different haploid cells

CHECK FOR UNDERSTANDING

1. If a horse has 12 chromosomes in its gametes, how many chromosomes are in it’s skin cells?

a) 12b) 24c) 48d) 6

2. If there are 10 chromosomes in the parent cell at the start of meiosis, how many chromosomes will be in the daughter cells at the end of meiosis?

a) 10b) 20c) 5d) 40

Check for Understanding

Question: What is the relationship between the number of chromosomes in the zygote and the number of chromosomes in a gamete?

A ZYGOTE (diploid) HAS TWICE THE

NUMBER OF CHROMOSOMES AS THE

GAMETES (haploid)…

(Because two haploids come together

to form the diploid zygote)

Mitosis or Meiosis?

•Makes gametes

•Makes somatic cells

•Creates haploid cells

•Creates diploid cells

•Asexual reproduction

Meiosis Overview

• Goal: Sexual reproduction (one cell from mom + one cell from dad)

• 2 Phases:

• Meiosis I

• Meiosis II

• End Result: 4 cells with HALF the chromosomes of the original cell (4 HAPLOID CELLS)

Stages of Meiosis

Interphase 1

Before meiosis I begins, cell

undergoes interphase

Chromosomes

replicate

Meiosis 1 Begins: Prophase I

Chromosomes pair up, forming a structure called a tetrad, which contains four chromatids.

Prophase I

• Homologous Chromosomes pair up and form tetrads,

they undergo a process called crossing-over

(chromatids of the homologous chromosomes cross

over one another)

• crossed sections of the chromatids are exchanged

(new combinations of genes)

Chromosomes Cross-Over

• During Prophase 1, sister chromatids cross-over.

• That means that the DNA from your mom and the DNA from your dad mix.

• Each chromosome at the end will have DNA from both parentsand is DIFFERENT

Metaphase I• Spindle fibers attach to each homologous

chromosome

• Paired homologous chromosomes line up

across the center of the cell.

Anaphase I

•Spindle fibers pull each homologous

chromosome pair toward opposite ends

of the cell

Telophase I and Cytokinesis

•Nuclear membranes reform

•Cytokinesis follows Telophase I, forming two

new cells.

Meiosis I Ends

•Results in two cells (daughter cells) each of which has four chromatids

Meiosis II Begins • Unlike the first division, neither cell goes through

a round of chromosome replication before

entering meiosis II NO INTERPHASE

Prophase II

• Chromosomes—each consisting of two

chromatids—become visible

Metaphase II

• Chromosomes line up in the center of each cell

Anaphase II

• Paired chromatids separate

Telophase II and Cytokinesis

- Each of the four daughter cells produced in meiosis

II receives two chromatids, they are HAPLOID

Why is crossing over important?

• Crossing over leads to genetic diversity(which is the difference in a species).

• Genetic Diversity is the major advantage of sexual reproduction because it provides genetic variation.

Meiosis v. Mitosis

Meiosis

• Two divisions• Homologous chromosomes line

up and move to separate daughter cells.

• Reduces chromosome number by half

• Produces 4 genetically different haploid cells.

• Early step in sexual reproduction.

Mitosis

• One Division• Two sets of genetic material

separate, each daughter cell receives one complete set of chromosomes

• Doesn’t change chromosome number

• Makes 2 identical diploid cells• Form of asexual reproduction

Chromosomal Mutations

• Chromosomal mutations are

unexpected changes in a

particular chromosome

• This includes the addition of

an extra chromosome or the

deletion of a chromosome.
