MEIOSIS
3.3
Today’s Class• Focus on gamete production (meiosis) and how cells go from being diploid to
haploid
• Curriculum– 3.3 U1 One diploid nucleus divides by meiosis to produce 4 haploid nuclei– 3.3 U2 The halving of the chromosome number allows a sexual life cycle with fusion of
gametes– 3.3 U3 DNA is replicated before meiosis so that all chromosomes consists of two sister
chromatids– 3.3 U4 The early stages of meiosis involve pairing of homologous chromosomes and
crossing over followed by condensation– 3.3 U5 Orientation of pairs of homologous chromosomes prior to separation is random– 3.3 U6 Separation of pairs of homologous chromosomes in the first division of meiosis– 3.3 U7 Crossing over and random orientation promotes genetic variation– 3.3 U8 Fusion of gametes from different parents promotes genetic variation

In anaphase I, the homologous pair is separated but the sister chromatids remain attached.
This is the reduction division.

InterphaseIn the S-phase of the interphase before meiosis begins, DNA replication takes place.
Chromosomes are replicated and these copies are attached to each other at the centromere.
The attached chromosome and its copy are known as sister chromatids.
Following S-phase, further growth and preparation take place for meiosis.
http://sciencevideos.wordpress.com 24
Prophase IThe homologous chromosomes associate with each other, to form bivalents.
The pairs of sister chromatids are joined by the centromere. Non-sister chromatids are next to each other but not joined.
This bivalent is composed of:- One pair of homologous chromosomes- Which have replicated to form two pairs of
sister chromatids.
http://sciencevideos.wordpress.com 25
Prophase I
Crossing-over between non-sister chromatids can take place. This results in recombination of alleles and is a source of genetic variation in gametes.
The homologous chromosomes associate with each other, to form bivalents.
The pairs of sister chromatids are joined by the centromere. Non-sister chromatids are next to each other but not joined.
The homologous pair is separated in anaphase I. The joined sister chromatids are separated in anaphase II.
This bivalent is composed of:- One pair of homologous chromosomes- Which have replicated to form two pairs of
sister chromatids.
http://sciencevideos.wordpress.com 26
Metaphase IThe bivalents line up at the equator.
Random orientation occurs and is a significant source of genetic variation.
There are 2n possible orientations in metaphase I and II. That is 223 in humans – or 8,388,068 different combinations in gametes!
http://sciencevideos.wordpress.com 27
Anaphase ISpindle fibres contract.
Homologous pairs are separated and pulled to opposing poles.
This is the reduction division.
Non-disjunction here will affect the chromosome number of all four gametes.
http://sciencevideos.wordpress.com 28
Telophase INew nuclei form and the cytoplasm begins to divide by cytokinesis.
The nuclei are no longer diploid.
http://sciencevideos.wordpress.com 29
Interphase IIThere is no Synthesis phase in Interphase II.
http://sciencevideos.wordpress.com 30
Prophase IIThe nuclei break down.
No crossing-over occurs.
Chromosomes condense & becomevisible.
http://sciencevideos.wordpress.com 31
Metaphase IIPairs of sister chromatids align at the equator. Spindle fibres form and attach at the centromeres.
Random orientation again contributes to variation in the gametes, though not to such an extent as in metaphase I.
This is because there is only a difference between chromatids where crossing-over has taken place.
http://sciencevideos.wordpress.com 32
Metaphase I vs II: Genetic Variation
Lots of variation in gametes produced• Random orientation of homologous
pairs, which may have a great diversity in alleles present
• Therefore many possible combinations of alleles could be pulled to each pole
Some variation in gametes produced• Random orientation of sister chromatids• Variation only in regions where crossing
over has taken place in prophase I (recombination of alleles)
http://sciencevideos.wordpress.com 33
Anaphase IISpindle fibres contract and the centromeres are broken.
The pairs of sister chromatids are pulled to opposing poles.
Non-disjunction here will lead to two gametes containing the wrong chromosome number.
http://sciencevideos.wordpress.com 34
Telophase IINew haploid nuclei are formed.
Cytokinesis begins, splitting the cells.
The end result of meiosis is four haploid gamete cells.
Fertilisation of these haploid gametes will produce a diploid zygote.

Which phase of meiosis is shown? Why?
A. Interphase
B. Prophase I
C. Metaphase I
D. Metaphase II
Reason:
http://sciencevideos.wordpress.com 36
Which phase of meiosis is shown? Why?
A. Interphase
B. Prophase I
C. Metaphase I
D. Metaphase II
Reason: • Homologous pairs are aligned (at equator), so must
be metaphase. • Crossing-over has already taken place, so must be
after prophase I. • Homologous pairs have not yet separated, so must
be still in meiosis I (metaphase I).

Mitosis Meiosis
One division Two divisions
Diploid cells produced Haploid gametes produced
No crossing-over in prophase Crossing-over in prophase I
Homologous pairs do not associate and line up at the equator in metaphase
Homologous pairs associate as bivalents and lined up at the equator in metaphase I
Sister chromatids separate in anaphase Homologous pairs separate in anaphase ISister chromatids separate in anaphase II

Genetic VariationCrossing-over in prophase ILeads to recombination of alleles on the chromosomes.
Random orientation in metaphase IHuge number of maternal/paternal chromosome combinations possible in the final gametes. There are over 8million possible orientation in humans (223 orientations)
Random orientation in metaphase IIFurther genetic variation arises where there are genetic differences between sister chromatids as a result of crossing-over in prophase I.
is almost infinite as a result of meiosis.

Even more variation!Random fertilisation during sexual reproduction ensures even greater variation within the population.(FUSION OF GAMETES)

• Gametes contain two copies or no copies of a particular chromosome.
• Offspring have an extra or missing chromosome.

Non Disjunction
• Down’s Syndrome – Trisomy 21– The person has 3 (instead of 2)
21st chromosomes
• Age of parents vs. Down Syndrome
• Do the DBQ on pg. 167 – 168: “Parental age and non-disjunction”
• Karyotype: a property of a cell – the number and type of chromosomes present in the nucleus.
• Karyogram:picture of chromosomes arranged in pairs,according to their size and structure(banding patterns).
Chromosomal abnormalities
• Trisomy 18, Trisomy 13
• Turner’s Syndrome – females with only one X
• Klinefelter’s Syndrome – males with XXY
• Karyotyping is used for pre-natal (before birth) diagnosis of chromosome abnormalities.
• Where do we get the cells for doing a karyotype?
1) amniocentesis• Extract amniotic fluid,• Inside are some of the
baby’s cells
• Risks:– Miscarriage 1 in 200 to
1 in 400– Accuracy: 99.4%
2) chorionic villus sampling
• Tissue sample from the placenta’s projections into the uterus wall
• Risks?– Slightly higher chance of
miscarriage than amniocentesis because it is done earlier in pregnancy.
– Accuracy: 98%
