3. Meiosis Review What type of cells does mitosis occur in?
Mitosis occurs in somatic cells.
Somatic cells are 2N. What does this mean?
2N means there are two of each type of chromosome.
Why is it important that cells copy all their DNA during mitosis, and become 4N?
It is important that cells copy all their DNA during mitosis and become 4N because the cell splits in half. When the parent cell splits in half, the daughter cells will still have 2N, an exact copy of the parent cell. 3

4. By the end of today, SWBAT… State the purpose of meiosis
Objectives
By the end of today, SWBAT…
State the purpose of meiosis
Compare mitosis and meiosis

5. Review of Mitosis
Somatic cells have 2 of each type of chromosome
Mitosis produces cells that are 2N.
2N→4N 2N 2N

6. Review of Mitosis
Point out that what is going on here: the chromosomes are doing a dance, but the DNA had doubled and now they split evenly between the two cell.

7. But wait…
There’s another type of cell division for one specific purpose!

8. Meiosis is for sexual reproduction
Key Point #1: Meiosis is cell division for gametes.
Gametes = sex cells
Eggs for women, Sperm for men
Meiosis is for sexual reproduction

9. New Vocabulary
Somatic cells have 2 of each type of chromosome (2N). This means that somatic cells have all the instructions necessary to make an organism.
Another word for 2N is diploid. Somatic cells are diploid.
Gametes only have 1 of each type of chromosome (1N). This means that they only have HALF of the DNA necessary to make an organism.
Another word for 1N is haploid. Gametes are haploid.

10. Now does it make sense why you need one sperm and one egg??

11. Why? 2N 4N Key Point #2: Gametes must be haploid (1N)
Every human must have two copies of each chromosome
If gametes were diploid (2N), the child would not survive
2N is the regular number of chromosomes!
You don’t want a baby with 4N!!!!!! 2N 1N
How do we get haploid cells? Well, in meiosis… cells divide TWICE! 2N 4N 2N 1N

12. So how does this work?
In meiosis, there are two rounds of cell division
2N→4N
MEIOSIS I
MEIOSIS II 1N 2N 1N 1N
The starting 2N cell is a germ cell; it produces gametes. Germ cells are the only cells in the body that undergo both mitosis (to create more germ cells) and meiosis (to create gametes). 2N 1N

13. So how does this work? MEIOSIS I MEIOSIS II 2N 4N 2N 2N 1N 1N 1N 1N
In meiosis, there are two rounds of cell division 2N 4N
MEIOSIS I 2N 2N
The starting 2N cell is a germ cell; it produces gametes. Germ cells are the only cells in the body that undergo both mitosis (to create more germ cells) and meiosis (to create gametes).
MEIOSIS II 1N 1N 1N 1N 13

14. Family Matters Meiosis can explain a lot of things in life…
Why am so much better looking than my brother, even though we have the same parents?
So if gametes need to be haploid, not diploid, then they can’t divide via mitosis. They have to divide through meiosis.

15. Thank you, meiosis!

16. NOT IDENTICAL
Key Point #3: Meiosis produces genetically DIFFERENT cells.
Why different? Genetic information between chromosomes gets switched.
Analogous parts of the chromosomes get switched. So the reason my sister and I look different is she came from eggs/sperm that are DIFFERENT than the ones I came from.
Germ Cell
