3. Meiosis II
Target: I will be able to identify and describe the key stages of Meiosis II.
Meiosis II: Separation of the sister chromatids (the arms of a chromosome).
Produces 4 daughter cells- each with 23 chromosomes.
Daughter cells (one from the mother and one from the father) recombine at fertilization to produce an embryo with 46 chromosomes- the correct number for human life.
Pg. 109

4. Phases of Meiosis II
1. Prophase II: Each new cell forms a spindle.
Chromosomes move toward the center of the spindle.

5. 2. Metaphase II: chromosomes attach to the spindle and line up on the equator.

6. 3. Anaphase II: Chromosomes divide when Sister Chromatids pull apart.
Now the chromosomes are single stranded.

7. 4. Telophase II: the two daughter cells divide.
Four haploid cells with single stranded chromosomes are produced.
These gametes are genetically different from the parent cell that they came from.
