Meiosis Cell division – ‘ reduction division’ Production of sex cells – gametes Meiosis errors

Why do we need meiosis? Meiosis is necessary to halve the number of chromosomes going into the sex cells Why halve the chromosomes in gametes? At fertilisation the male and female sex cells will provide ½ of the chromosomes each – so the offspring has genes from both parents

Meiosis Parent cell – chromosome pair Chromosomes copied 1 st division - pairs split 2 nd division – produces 4 gamete cells with ½ the original no. of chromosomes

Meiosis – mouse testes Parent cell 4 gametes 1 st division 2 nd division

Meiosis – division error Chromosome pair

Meiosis error - fertilisation Should the gamete with the chromosome pair be fertilised then the offspring will not be ‘normal’. In humans this often occurs with the 21 st pair – producing a child with Downs Syndrome

21 trisomy – Downs Syndrome Can you see the extra 21 st chromosome? Is this person male or female?
