2
Interphase As with mitosis, DNA replication takes place during interphase before meiosis begins. Centrioles Nucleus
3
Prophase I Chromosomes condense
Centrioles duplicate and move towards poles Micrograph
4
Prophase I Chromosomes condense
Centrioles duplicate and move towards poles
5
Prophase I Chromosomes condense
Centrioles duplicate and move towards poles Nuclear membrane breaks down
6
Prophase I Nuclear membrane breaks down Micrograph
7
Prophase I Spindle begins to form
Homologous chromosomes pair up (synapsis) forming bivalents. Crossing over may occur between chromatids Detail of crossing over
8
Metaphase I Spindle begins to form Chromosomes line up on equator of
cell in homologous pairs (bivalents)
9
Metaphase I Chromosomes line up on equator of cell in homologous
pairs (bivalents) Micrograph
10
Anaphase I Chromosomes pulled to opposite ends of the cell
by spindle fibres
11
Anaphase I Chromosomes pulled to opposite ends of the cell
by spindle fibres Micrograph
12
Telophase I Nuclear membrane may reform (Chromosomes may recondense)
Micrograph
13
Telophase I In some organisms, cytokinesis
takes place at the end of telophase I
14
Prophase II In some organisms, cytokinesis
takes place at the end of telophase I
15
Prophase II Centrioles replicate Nuclear membrane breaks down
16
Metaphase II Centrioles move to poles of cells
Spindle forms; chromosomes line up on equator Micrograph
17
Anaphase II Centromeres divide, and chromatids are moved to
opposite ends of the cells by spindle fibres Micrograph
18
Telophase II
19
Telophase II Nuclear membranes reform Cytokinesis follows
20
Telophase II Nuclear membranes reform Cytokinesis follows
21
4 haploid cells Telophase II Nuclear membranes reform
Cytokinesis follows 4 haploid cells Micrograph
22
Meiosis animation Try to identify the different phases in this animation of meiosis
23
Random assortment If a cell with two pairs of chromosomes undergoes meiosis there are four possible combinations of chromosomes in the gametes produced.
24
Random assortment How many possible combinations of chromosomes are there in human gametes with 23 pairs of chromosomes? 223 =
25
DNA replicates during interphase
Crossing over
26
DNA replicates during interphase
Crossing over
27
Crossing over DNA replicates during interphase
During prophase I chromatids break and reconnect to a different chromatid in the bivalent Crossing over
28
Crossing over DNA replicates during interphase
During prophase I chromatids break and reconnect to a different chromatid in the bivalent This results in different combinations of alleles on the chromosomes Crossing over
29
Crossing over DNA replicates during interphase
During prophase I chromatids break and reconnect to a different chromatid in the bivalent This results in different combinations of alleles on the chromosomes Crossing over
30
Chiasmata Crossing over
The point on a chromosome where crossing over takes place is described as a chiasma (plural: chiasmata). One or more chiasmata may form anywhere along the length of the two chromosomes involved in crossing over. Chiasmata Back to metaphase I
