Introduction to Genetics:Meiosis
Ch. 11Ms. Haut
Introduction to Heredity
• Each organism must inherit a single copy of every gene from each of its “parents.”
• Offspring acquire genes from parents by inheriting chromosomes
• Inheritance is possible because:– Sperm and ova carrying each parent’s genes are
combined in the nucleus of the fertilized egg
Actual passing on of genes depends on the behavior of chromosomes
• Chromosomes -organizational unit of hereditary material in the nucleus of eukaryotic organisms
– Contain hundreds of thousands of genes, each of which is a specific region of the DNA molecule, or locus

Chromosome Number• Chromosome Number– All organisms have
different numbers of chromosomes.
– A body cell in an adult fruit fly has 8 chromosomes: 4 from the fruit fly's male parent, and 4 from its female parent.
Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall
Chromosome Number
• These two sets of chromosomes are homologous.
• Each of the 4 chromosomes that came from the male parent has a corresponding chromosome from the female parent.
• Chromosomes are the same size and shape and have the same genes in the same locations
Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall
Chromosome Number
• A cell that contains both sets of homologous chromosomes is said to be diploid.
• The number of chromosomes in a diploid cell is sometimes represented by the symbol 2N.
• For Drosophila, the diploid number is 8, which can be written as 2N=8.
Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall
Chromosome Number
• The gametes of sexually reproducing organisms contain only a single set of chromosomes, and therefore only a single set of genes.
• These cells are haploid. Haploid cells are represented by the symbol N.
• For Drosophila, the haploid number is 4, which can be written as N=4.
Human Life Cycle
• Each human somatic cell (body cell) has 46 chromosomes or 23 matching pairs (diploid)
Karyotype: male
Autosomes: non-sex chromosomes
Sex chromosomes:determine gender (XX; XY)
Human Life Cycle
• Gametes (sex cells) have a single set of 22 autosomes and a single sex chromosome, either X or Y
• With 23 chromosomes, they are haploid
haploid number: n = 23
diploid number: 2n = 46
Haploid sperm + haploid ova zygote (2n)
fertilization 2nn n
Fertilization
• Sperm compete to fertilize the egg
• Only one will win• Once sperm penetrates
the egg, egg creates a barrier to prevent other sperm from entering
• Only sperm nucleus is released inside egg
• Union of nuclei form zygote (fertilized egg)

Phases of Meiosis• Phases of Meiosis– Meiosis is a 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.
– Meiosis involves two divisions, meiosis I and meiosis II.
– By the end of meiosis II, the diploid cell that entered meiosis has become 4 haploid cells.

Phases of Meiosis
– Meiosis I
Prophase I Metaphase I Anaphase I Telophase I and Cytokinesis
Interphase IMeiosis I
Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall
Phases of Meiosis• Cells undergo a round
of DNA replication, forming duplicate chromosomes.
Interphase I
Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall
Phases of Meiosis• Each chromosome
pairs with its corresponding homologous chromosome to form a tetrad.
• There are 4 chromatids in a tetrad.
MEIOSIS I Prophase I
Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall
Phases of Meiosis• When homologous chromosomes form tetrads in
meiosis I, they exchange portions of their chromatids in a process called crossing over.
• Crossing-over produces new combinations of alleles.
Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall
Phases of Meiosis• Spindle fibers attach
to the chromosomes. MEIOSIS I Metaphase I
Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall
Phases of Meiosis MEIOSIS I Anaphase I
• The fibers pull the homologous chromosomes toward opposite ends of the cell.
Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall
Phases of Meiosis MEIOSIS I Telophase I and Cytokinesis
• Nuclear membranes form. • The cell separates into two
cells.• The two cells produced by
meiosis I have chromosomes and alleles that are different from each other and from the diploid cell that entered meiosis I.
Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall
Phases of Meiosis
• Meiosis II– The two cells produced by meiosis I now enter a
second meiotic division.– Unlike meiosis I, neither cell goes through
chromosome replication.– Each of the cell’s chromosomes has 2 chromatids.
Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall
Phases of Meiosis
• Meiosis II
Telophase II and Cytokinesis
Prophase II Metaphase II Anaphase IITelophase I and Cytokinesis I
Meiosis II
Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall
Phases of Meiosis• Meiosis I results in
two haploid (N) daughter cells, each with half the number of chromosomes as the original cell.
MEIOSIS IIProphase II
Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall
Phases of Meiosis• The chromosomes
line up in the center of cell.
MEIOSIS II Metaphase II
Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall
Phases of Meiosis• The sister chromatids
separate and move toward opposite ends of the cell.
MEIOSIS II Anaphase II
Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall
Phases of Meiosis• Meiosis II results in four
haploid (N) daughter cells.
MEIOSIS II Telophase II and Cytokinesis

Gametogenesis
• Spermatogenesis– In male animals, meiosis
results in four equal-sized gametes called sperm.
– Sperm cells made in testes (over 100 million each day in adult male)
– Takes over 3 weeks to complete
Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall
Gametogenesis
• Oogenesis– In many female animals, only
one egg results from meiosis. The other three cells, called polar bodies
– Egg cells made in ovaries– Meiosis I takes place and
process stops before birth (1-2 million cells at this stage; by puberty only 400,000 left)
– Meiosis II begins each month once egg cell is released from ovary
Formation of Polar Body
• Occurs because of uneven division of cytoplasm during cytokinesis
• Egg cells must contain enough supplies to synthesize all the products needed by the developing embryo until the embryo implants into the uterine wall.
• Implantation does not occur until 7-10 days after fertilization.

Comparing Mitosis and Meiosis
• Mitosis results in the production of two genetically identical diploid cells. Meiosis produces four genetically different haploid cells.
Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall
Comparing Mitosis and Meiosis
• Mitosis– Cells produced by mitosis have the same number
of chromosomes and alleles as the original cell.– Mitosis allows an organism to grow and replace
cells.– Some organisms reproduce asexually by mitosis.
Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall
Comparing Mitosis and Meiosis
• Meiosis– Cells produced by meiosis have half the number of
chromosomes as the parent cell.– These cells are genetically different from the
diploid cell and from each other.– Meiosis is how sexually-reproducing organisms
produce gametes.
