MEIOSISchapter 11 section 4
SC SCIENCE STANDARD B-4.5Students will demonstrate
understanding of characteristics of phases of Meiosis I and II.
Meiosis Vocabulary Homologous: term used to refer to
chromosomes that each have corresponding chromosome from opposite-sex parent› Example: Your # 12 chromosome from
your mom is homologous to your # 12 chromosome you received from your dad
Diploid: refers to a cell that contains both sets of homologous chromosomes› Referred to as 2n› 2n in humans = 46
Haploid: refers to cells that have one set of chromosomes› Referred to as n› In humans n = 23
Meiosis Phases Meiosis is a process of reduction
division in which the # of chromosomes per cell is cut in half through the separation of homologous chromosomes in a diploid cell.› Only occurs in sex cells› Involves 2 distinct divisions:
Meiosis I Meiosis II
Meiosis I Prior to:
› each chromosome has replicated
Meiosis I: Prophase I Homologous
chromosomes are paired forming a tetrad
Prophase I Chromatids (#4)
in tetrad exchange portions with their homologous partner = crossing-over
Results in new combinations of alleles
Meiosis I continued Metaphase I
› Homologous pairs line up on metaphase plate
Anaphase I› Homologous
chromosomes separate and move to opposite poles
Meiosis I continued Telophase I
› Same as telophase in mitosis
Cytokinesis I› 2 daughter cells› 1set of
duplicated chromosomes (n)
› Chromosomes are different from parent cell
Meiosis II 2 cells made in Meiosis I
immediately enter Meiosis II Except there is no replication of
chromosomes prior to Prophase II
Meiosis II Prophase II
› Each chromosome has 2 sister chromatids
› No crossing over› Spindles start to
form› Nuclear envelope
& nucleolus fade away
› (a lot like prophase in mitosis)
Meiosis II continued Metaphase II
› Chromosomes line up on metaphase plate
› Spindles attach to centromeres
› (just like metaphase in mitosis)
Anaphase II Centromeres split
separating sister chromatids
Individual chromosomes move toward poles of cell
Telophase II & Cytokinesis II Nuclear
envelopes and nucleoli reform
Spindle disappears
Cleavage furrow forms
4 daughter cells formed each with haploid # (n) of chromosomes
Meiosis
Comparing :Mitosis Meiosis Parent cell
produces 2 genetically identical daughter cells
Parent cell produces 4 genetically different daughter cells
Gamete Formation Males:
› Even cell divisions at end of Meiosis I & II
Females:› uneven cell
divisions in Meiosis I & II (most of cytoplasm goes to 1 cell)
