MEIOSIS Creating gametes (sex cells)

Chromosome Number A human body cell has 46 chromosomes 23 from dad and 23 from mom These sets of chromosomes are homologous, meaning that each chromosome that came from dad has a corresponding chromosome from mom.

Diploid and Haploid A cell that contains both sets of homologous chromosomes is said to be diploid. Diploid= “ two sets”, 2N, or 2N=46 A cell that only contains 1 set of chromosomes is said to be haploid. Haploid= “one set”, N, or N=23

Phases of Meiosis Occurs in 2 divisions- meiosis I and meiosis II In the end one diploid cell will become 4 haploid cells

Crossing Over occurs in Meiosis I 1. Homologous chromosomes form a tetrad 2. Chromatids cross over one another 3. The crossed sections of chromatids are exchanged 4. This produces a new combination of genes which contributes to diversity within a population.

Gamete Formation occurs in Meiosis II Meiosis I results in 2 haploid daughter cells Meiosis II results in 4 haploid daughter cells The haploid gamete in males is sperm The haploid gamete in females is the egg

Comparing Mitosis and Meiosis Results in 2 identical diploid cells Involves asexual reproduction 1 division Meiosis Results in 4 genetically different haploid cells Involves sexual reproduction 2 divisions CLICK FOR ANIMATED COMPARISON
