Cell Division: Meiosis Prepared by: Ms. Jasmine Nikki M. Versoza
What are the phases of meiosis? What type of cells are made during meiosis? How many chromosomes do sperm cells have? How about egg cells? In what phase does crossing over happens? What happens during the crossing over of chromosomes? What causes the variety in genes? QUESTIONS
The union of two sex cells that contain one set of chromosome each and comes from two individual organisms Fertilization
If the reproductive cycle is to continue, then the diploid cell must reduce its number of chromosome sets before fertilization , or there will be a continual doubling to fertilization in the number of chromosome sets in every generation. Fertilization
The number of sets of chromosomes in a cell Haploid and Diploid Ploidy Level
The type of cell division taking place in sex cells . It results in haploid chromosome number. MEIOSIS
Reduction stage Synapsis , Crossing over, and Independent Assortment happens during this stage MEIOSIS I
Prophase I Metaphase I Anaphase I Telophase I MEIOSIS I
First mechanism that introduces variation into the gametes happens here Synapsis and Crossing Over PROPHASE I
Pairing of the homologous chromosomes Homologous chromosomes have the same length, staining pattern, and centromere position A paired homologous chromosome is composed of four sister chromatids known as tetrad. SYNAPSIS
Process wherein homologous chromatids exchange genetic material to ensure variety in gamete formation CROSSING OVER
The tetrads line up along the metaphase plate or equatorial plate of the cell Spindle fiber increase in number METAPHASE I
The second mechanism that introduces gamete variation happens here Independent or Random Assortment – the arrangement of the tetrads at the metaphase plate is at random METAPHASE I
Homologous chromosomes separate and migrate toward their respective poles In humans, since there are 46 chromosomes, 23 will move to the poles, which means that only half of the number of chromosomes will remain in each cell ANAPHASE I
The two daughter cells are completely divided An equal amount of chromosomes are found in both cells A nuclear envelope and nuclei reappear and the chromosomes become less visible TELOPHASE I
Why is meiosis I called the reduction stage? The ploidy level has been reduced from two to one MEIOSIS I
A short pause between meiosis I and meiosis II No replication of the chromosomes happen here INTERKINESIS I
Division stage. Produces four genetically unique cells More analogous to mitosis MEIOSIS II
The division of the two daughter cells with haploid chromosome numbers produced in meiosis I MEIOSIS II
Prophase II Metaphase II Anaphase II Telophase II MEIOSIS II

Why does meiosis result in haploid chromosome numbers for each daughter cell? HMMM….

EVEN IF THE CHROMOSOMES OF THE FOUR DAUGHTER CELLS IN MEIOSIS DUPLICATE DURING S PHASE, IT WILL STILL RESULT IN HAPLOID CHROMOSOME NUMBER. How come the parent cell has a diploid chromosome number? HMMM….
PRACTICE EXERCISES If n=4 for fruit flies, how many chromosome does a wing cell have? If the 2n= 86 for a pine tree, how many chromosomes does it have in its ovum?
