End Show 11-4 Meiosis Slide 3 of 35 Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall Gametes are formed by a process of meiosis that separates the two sets of genes so that each gamete ends up with just one set. meiosis

End Show 11-4 Meiosis Slide 4 of 35 Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall 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 father’s sperm –4 from its mother’s egg These two sets of chromosomes are homologous pairs.

End Show 11-4 Meiosis Slide 5 of 35 Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall Chromosome Number A cell that contains both sets of homologous chromosomes is said to be diploid (2N). The gametes of sexually reproducing organisms are haploid (N), they contain a single set of chromosomes For Drosophila (fruit fly) the diploid number is 8 2N=8. For Drosophila (fruit fly) the haploid number is 8 N=4.

End Show 11-4 Meiosis Slide 6 of 35 Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall Phases of Meiosis What happens during the process 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. Homologous pair

End Show Slide 7 of Meiosis Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall 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

End Show 11-4 Meiosis Slide 10 of 35 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 I Prophase I

End Show Slide 11 of Meiosis 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.

End Show 11-4 Meiosis Slide 14 of 35 Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall Independent Assortment of Chromosomes The large number of possible arrangements of chromosome pairs at metaphase I of meiosis leads to many different combinations of chromosomes in gametes This results in 2 n possible combinations of gametes

End Show 11-4 Meiosis Slide 16 of 35 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.

End Show Slide 17 of Meiosis 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.

In many female animals, only one egg results from meiosis. The other three cells, called polar bodies, are usually not involved in reproduction.

End Show 14–2 Human Chromosomes Slide 28 of 25 Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall Chromosomal Disorders What problems does nondisjunction cause? The most common error in meiosis occurs when homologous chromosomes fail to separate. This is known as nondisjunction, which means, “not coming apart.”

End Show 14–2 Human Chromosomes Slide 29 of 25 Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall Chromosomal Disorders If nondisjunction occurs, abnormal numbers of chromosomes may find their way into gametes if that gamete is used to in sexual reproduction the resulting individual will have an abnormal number of chromosomes.

In most cases abnormal chromosome number results in spontaneous abortion long before birth. Down syndrome involves three copies of chromosome 21.

End Show 14–2 Human Chromosomes Slide 35 of 25 Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall Chromosomal Disorders Sex Chromosome Disorders In females, nondisjunction can lead to Turner’s syndrome. A female with Turner’s syndrome usually inherits only one X chromosome (karyotype 45,X). Women with Turner’s syndrome are sterile.

End Show 14–2 Human Chromosomes Slide 36 of 25 Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall Chromosomal Disorders In males, nondisjunction causes Klinefelter’s syndrome (karyotype 47,XXY). The extra X chromosome interferes with meiosis and usually prevents these individuals from reproducing.
