1. Meiosis

2. Meiosis
A type of cell division that produces four cells each with half the number of chromosomes as the parents
Homologous Chromosomes: Two pairs of chromosomes that carry the same genetic material

3. Haploid and Diploid Haploid Diploid
A cell with a single set of chromosomes
Shown as n
A human has 23 chromosomes
Diploid
A cell with two sets of chromosomes
Shown as 2n
A human has 46 chromosomes as 2n

4. Produces 4 genetically different haploid cells Has two division stages
Meiosis
Produces 4 genetically different haploid cells
Has two division stages
Meiosis I
Meiosis II

5. Meiosis

7. Meiosis I Prophase I Creation of homologous chromosomes
Tetrads are formed
Homologous chromosomes crossover

9. Meiosis I Metaphase I Anaphase I Telophase I and Cytokinesis
Tetrads line up
Anaphase I
Homologous chromosomes separate
Telophase I and Cytokinesis
Cells separate with homologous chromosomes

10. Meiosis I

11. Meiosis II Prophase II Metaphase II Anaphase II
Sister Chromatids Line up
Anaphase II
Sister Chromatids separate
Telophase II and Cytokinesis
Cells split and create haploid genetically different daughter cells

15. Meiosis Creates four genetically different daughter cells
Crossing over creates genetic variation
Only sex cells go through meiosis
Gamete: A sex cell created by meiosis- Sperm or Egg

16. Mitosis VS. Meiosis Mitosis Meiosis Creates 2 identical daughter cells
Does not exchange or change genetics
One stage
Diploid
Meiosis
Creates 4 genetically different daughter cells
Exchanges or changes genetics through crossing over
Two stages
Haploid
