Meiosis Produces Gametes biology I will know the differences in meiosis in males and females. I will understand that only certain cells undergo meiosis. I will know that meiosis creates 4 non-identical haploid gametes. MT: Sexual Reproduction Slide of 35 End Show Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall

Meiosis in sexually reproducing plants Plants, ferns, fungi can have spores or pollen as the male gamete and ova as eggs. Animals are not the only sexually reproducing organisms. Slide of 35 End Show Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall

Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall 11-4 Meiosis In male animals, meiosis results in four equal-sized gametes called sperm. Meiosis produces four genetically different haploid cells. In males, meiosis results in four equal-sized gametes called sperm. Slide of 35 End Show Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall

Meiosis in Males -occurs in testes in human males

Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall 11-4 Meiosis In many female animals, only one egg results from meiosis. The other three cells, called polar bodies, are usually not involved in reproduction. Meiosis produces four genetically different haploid cells. In females, only one large egg cell results from meiosis. The other three cells, called polar bodies, usually are not involved in reproduction. Slide of 35 End Show Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall

Meiosis in Females -occurs in ovaries in human females

Meiosis in Males Meiosis in Females -occurs in ovaries (humans) -occurs in testes (humans) -creates 4 sperm that are non-identical but are equal sized -occurs frequently Meiosis in Females -occurs in ovaries (humans) -creates 1 egg and 3 polar bodies that are non-identical and different sizes -occurs less frequent Slide of 35 End Show
