TRANSCRIPT
The student will describe the process of meiosis.
Subobjective 1: The student will describe how haploid cells develop into mature gametes.
Subobjective 2: The student will compare autosomes to sex chromosomes and body cells to sex cells.
Subobjective 3: The student will compare and contrast meiosis I and meiosis II.
Lesson Objective
Ticket In!
List one similarity and one difference between mitosis and meiosis.
How is a body cell different than a sex cell?
Give an example of a haploid cell.

Anticipation Guide
Meiosis produces genetically identical cells.
Diploid cells have twice as many chromosomes as haploid cells.
Crossover occurs in Meiosis I only.
The autosomes determine the sex of an individual.
Meiosis reduces the number of chromosomes in a cell.

Frayer Model
• Creation of haploid gametes
• The process of dividing diploid cells into haploid cells
• Produces genetically identical cells • Essential for sexual reproduction• Takes place only at certain times during the life cycle
Body Cells vs. Gametes
Of which type of cell is the brain comprised?
Most of the cells that comprise your body
Contain a complete set of chromosomes
Not passed onto offspring
i.e.: skin cells, brain cells, eyeball cells, kidney cells
Only the cells that make up eggs and sperm
Contain half of a set of chromosomes
These cells are passed onto your children.
i.e.: sperm, eggs

Homologous Chromosomes
Are homologous chromosomes completely identical to each other? Why or why not?
The same is true for the chromosomes in your cells.

Homologous Chromosomes
Scientists have created a chart that numbers these chromosomes.Erase in the box.
What do the different colors on the chromosomes represent?Click here
Circle the autosomes.
Chromosome pairs 1-22 are not related to the sex of the individual.
Autosomes
These chromosomes are responsible for the development and functionality of the organism. They are autosomes.

Sex Chromosomes
The 23rd and final pair of chromosomes is called the sex chromosomes.
These are not homologous chromosomes.
The sex (male or female) and development of sexual characteristics are determined by this set.
XX = Female XY = Male
X: larger sex chromosomecontains many genes not directly related to sex characteristics
Y - smaller sex chromosome responsible for the development of male sexual characteristics such as the testes
Diploid vs. Haploid
i.e.: sex cells
Haploid (n): The cell has 1 copy of each chromosome
i.e.: body cells
Diploid (2n): The cell has 2 copies of each chromosome. (homologous chromosomes)
1/2 + 1/2 = 1
1 + 1 = 1Circle the equation that best represents meiosis.

This allows for variation within the same species
The number of chromosomes is unique to each species.
Meiosis reduces the number of chromosomes.
Why do our sex cells have to be haploid?
To ensure the correct number of chromosomes in the offspring
Importance of Meiosis
When learning about meiosis, you will hearabout chromosomes and chromatids. Do you know the difference?
Chromosomes vs. Chromatids
These are attached at the center by a centromere.
Each sister chromatid contains the information from just one parent.
Meiosis I
Meiosis I: separation of homologous chromosomes
End Result = 2 diploid cells
Erase above the line.
Can you spot the cell in Prophase I?
Crossover occurs and genes are exchanged between homologous chromosomes
Duplicated chromosomes condense and pair up.
Nucleus breaks down and centrioles start to produce spindle fibers.
Prophase I
Answer: F
Crossing Over
Click on the globe to watch an educational video online.
Homologous chromosomes attach to spindle fibers.
These chromosomes are aligned along the center so that each side has chromosomes from both parents
Chromosomes are aligned randomly to ensure genetic variability.
Can you spot the cell in Metaphase I?
Metaphase I
Homologous chromosomes are pulled apart toward each side of the cell.
Sister chromatids stay attached.
Can you spot the cell in Anaphase I?
Answer: H
Anaphase I
Spindle fibers break down.
Nuclear envelope reforms to contain chromatids.
Cytoplasm is divided (cytokinesis).
Can you spot the cell in Telophase I?
Telophase I
Answer: G

Meiosis II
Meiosis II: separation of sister chromatids
Can you spot the cell in Prophase II?
Answer: I
Same process as Prophase I
However, there is no crossover.
Same process as Metaphase I.
This time, spindle fibers align sister chromatids.
Can you spot the cell in Metaphase II?
Metaphase II
Answer: D
Can you spot the cell in Anaphase II?
Sister chromatids are separated into each side of the cell.
Answer: B
Anaphase II
Same process as Telophase I.
During cytokinesis, the cytoplasm is divided.
Which would show the cell after cytokinesis?
Can you spot the cell in Telophase II?
Answer: C & A

An egg will always have an X chromosome and a sperm will have an X or a Y. Which gamete is responsible for determining the sex of a child?
Development of Gametes
Therefore, they must go through more changes.
Meiosis produces gametes that are unable to be fertilized.
Oogenesis:maturation of an egg
Spermatogenesis: maturation of sperm
