Meiosis!! Chapter 10
2
Meiosis Purpose: to make sex cells Gamete: sex cell Male gamete= sperm Female gamete= egg (ovum)
3
Let’s define the following words… Meiosis: Sexual reproduction- production of gametes Gamete: Sex Cells (egg and sperm) Derived from germ cells Somatic Cells: Body Cells
4
Haploid: Half the chromosome number (n) Cells with 1 of each pair of chromosomes (23) Ex: Gametes Diploid: 2 of each type of chromosome (2n) Cells with twice the haploid number (46) Ex: Somatic cells Fertilization: Sperm enters egg Zygote: Fertilized egg (diploid)
5
Chromosomes and Chromosome Number Homologous chromosomes —set of chromosomes with same genes in same locations: Get one from each parent Somatic cells: 46 chromosomes Gametes: 23 chromosomes
6
Sister chromatids One duplicated chromosome Centromere Homologous pair of chromosomes
7
Homologous Chromosomes Same centromere position Same length Carry genes that control the same inherited traits
8
General Meiosis The sexual life cycle in animals involves meiosis Meiosis produces gametes (haploid) When gametes combine in fertilization, the number of chromosomes is restored (diploid)
9
DNA Replication PrepareGrowth Division Mitosis Meiosis 2N NNNN
10
Karyotype
12
Meiosis Like mitosis (PMAT), but 2 divisions: Meiosis I (separation of homologous chromosomes) Meiosis II (separation of sister chromatids) Produces 4 daughter cells (NOT genetically identical!!!!!!)
13
Interphase Same as Mitosis (G1, S, G2) DNA- Chromatin Centrioles- located near the nucleus Nucleolus is present
14
Prophase I Pairing of homologous chromosomes occurs forming a tetrad (Synapsis) The nuclear envelope breaks down/nucleolus gone Spindles form Crossing over takes place
15
Crossing over Homologous chromosomes exchange genetic material Recombination of genes between chromosomes How is crossing over related to genetic variation?
16
Metaphase I Chromosome centromeres attach to spindle fibers Homologous chromosomes line up at the equator
17
Anaphase I Homologous chromosomes separate and move to opposite poles
18
Telophase I The spindles break down Chromosomes uncoil, 2 new nuclei form The cell divides
19
Do Now!! What gets separated in meiosis I? In meiosis II? What is a tetrad? What is the point of crossing over?
20
Prophase II A second set of phases begins Chromosomes condense again Spindles form in each new cell
21
Metaphase II Chromosomes line up at metaphase plate of each cell
22
Anaphase II The sister chromatids are pulled apart at the centromere by spindle fibers Move toward the opposite poles of the cell
23
Telophase II The chromosomes reach the poles and the nuclear membrane and nuclei reform Spindles break down
24
Cytokinesis o Cytokinesis results in four haploid cells (gametes) o Each with n number of chromosomes. *So… if the original diploid cell has 10 chromosomes, how many will each gamete have? *Why are the gametes NOT genetically identical?
26
Do Now!! Match the description to the phase of meiosis. 1. Sister chromatids are pulled apart. _____ A. Prophase I 2. Homologous chromosomes line up in the middle of the cell._____ B. Metaphase I 3. 2 daughter cells are formed ____ C. Telophase I 4. Nuclear membrane disappears__ D. Anaphase II 5. Nuclear membrane reforms around 4 cells ____ E. Anaphase I 6. Homologous chromosomes are pulled apart ____ F. Telophase II

Spermatogenesis vs oogenesis
29
Genetic Variability Depending on how the chromosomes line up at the equator, four gametes with four different combinations of chromosomes can result. Genetic variation also is produced during crossing over and during fertilization, when gametes randomly combine.
