DO NOW 11/29/17 How many cells are produced during mitosis?
Are they genetically different or identical? 3. What type of cells are produced during mitosis? (somatic body cells or sex cells) 4. List the phases of mitosis in the correct order. 5. What occurs during each phase of mitosis? 6. Define cytokinesis.
4
Division That Produces Sex Cells
Meiosis – Division That Produces Sex Cells Why do you share some but not all characters of each parent? What are the rules of this sharing game? At one level, the answers lie in meiosis.
5
Reduction-Division Genetic Recombination
MEIOSIS Reduction-Division Genetic Recombination
6
Meiosis The form of cell division by which GAMETES or sex cells are produced. GAMETES are sperm or egg cells. Gametes have HALF the # of chromosomes. Haploid- contains half the amount of chromosomes Diploid- contains full set of chromosomes
7
Meiosis Continued DIPLOID (2n) HAPLOID (n)
Meiosis is involved in SEXUAL reproduction. TWO divisions (MEIOSIS I and MEIOSIS II).
8
Interphase Cell grows and DNA replicates
Occurs before meiosis I, but not meiosis II Cell grows and DNA replicates
9
Meiosis I Cell division that reduces the chromosome number by one-half.
10
Homologous Chromosomes
Pair of chromosomes (maternal and paternal) that are similar in shape and size. Homologous pairs (tetrads) carry GENES controlling the SAME inherited traits. Humans have 23 pairs of homologous chromosomes: First 22 pairs are autosomes 23rd pair is sex chromosomes
11
Homologous Chromosomes
eye color locus hair color Paternal Maternal
12
Sex Chromosomes XX chromosome - female XY chromosome - male
13
MEIOSIS I Homologs separate Meiosis I
14
Prophase I Nuclear envelope disappears/Chromosomes coil
Synapsis (pairing) occurs Tetrads form & Crossing over occurs centrioles spindle fiber aster fibers TETRAD
15
Genetic Recombination
Tetrad nonsister chromatids chiasmata: site of crossing over variation
16
Metaphase I Homologous chromosomes line up in the middle.
Independent assortment occurs – chromosomes separate randomly
17
Anaphase I Homologous chromosomes pull apart.
Sister chromatids remain attached
18
Telophase I Each nucleus has haploid set of chromosomes.
Cytokinesis occurs & two haploid daughter cells are formed.
19
Sister Chromatids Separate
MEIOSIS II Sister Chromatids Separate Meiosis II
20
Meiosis II No Interphase II No DNA Replication
Meiosis II is similar to mitosis
21
Prophase II Same as Prophase in mitosis
Chromosomes condense & Spindle forms
22
Metaphase II Same as Metaphase in mitosis
Chromosomes line up in the middle
23
Anaphase II Same as Anaphase in mitosis SISTER CHROMATIDS pull apart
24
Telophase II Same as Telophase in mitosis. Nuclei reform
CYTOKINESIS occurs. Final product of meiosis: FOUR HAPLOID daughter cells that are all genetically different Called GAMETES (eggs and sperm)
