MeiosisA second type of cell division designed to make haploid cells called gametesGametes include sperm and eggMeiosis occurs in 2 parts Meiosis 1 and Meiosis 2Meiosis 1 is a reductive division where homologous chromosomes line up together on a spindle fiberTherefore, # spindle fibers required = half of diploid number = haploid numberMeiosis Tutorial: The Biology Project!

Structure formed when chromosomes come together is called a tetradA tetrad consists of 2 replicated chromosomes or 4 chromatidsChromatids are chromosomes that are still attached to their sister strand via a centromereWhen centromere eventually splits and chromatids are free of their sister chromatid, both are called chromosomes.this does not happen until anaphase 2Excellent Narrated Movie of Meiosis

Main Difference between Mitosis and MeiosisDuring prophase 1, homologous (similar) chromosomes come together This process is known as synapsisDuring this time the chromosomes are so close together that crossing over can occurThis leads to genetic variation since sections of the DNA are exchanged mixing maternal and paternal genes

Prophase 1Nuclear membrane disintegratesSpindle fibers formChromosomes become distinctHomologous (similar) chromosomes come together This process is called synapsis

Metaphase 1Homologous replicated chromosomes line up on the same spindle fiberIndividual chromatids in the replicated chromosomes do not separate yetNot until Anaphase 2In human cell, since 2n = 4623 pairs line upTherefore 23 spindle fibers are neededIf 2n = 10, 5 spindle fibers are required for this stage

Anaphase 1Homologous replicated chromosomes separate to opposite polesCentromeres do not split yet

Telophase 1Chromosomes arrive at opposite polesCytoplasm pinches inCytokinesis occurs in animal cellsEquatorial plate forms in plant cells2 haploid cells formChromosomes may become chromatin and enter an interphase 2 in some cells

Prophase 2New spindle fibers formNuclear membrane dissolvesChromosomes become visibleIf 2n = 10, then only five spindle fibers neededwhy?Half of the chromosomes are in the other cell

Metaphase 2Chromosome line up on new spindle fibersChromosomes here are made up of 2 chromatidsIf 2n = 46, 23 chromosomes are in each cell produced from telophase 1This means that 23 spindle fibers must be presentIf 2n = 8, 4 spindle fibers needed now

Anaphase 2Centromere splitsChromatids (now called chromosomes) migrate to opposite poles of the cell

Telophase 2Chromatids (now called chromosomes) arrive at polesCytoplasm starts to pinch in Cytokinesis occursEnd result is 4 haploid cells2 from each of the 2 cells produced at the end of telophase 1

Meiosis in males and femalesIn males called SpermatogenesisInvolves production of 4 equal sized cells each with same amount of cytoplasmic organellesIn females called OogenesisFirst division unequal One cell is a polar body and smallerSecond division produces another smaller cell called a polar body and then the EggEgg contains the majority of cytoplasmic organelles

Abnormal MeiosisWhen homologous chromosomes fail to separate during anaphase of meiosisAbnormal gametes form with abnormal numbers of chromosomes (trisomy 21 etc..)Process called non-disjunctionKaryotyping used to detect disordersChromosomes are arranged according to 3 characteristicsCentromere position Banding pattern SizeNon-disjunction animation

Sources of Variation1. Gamete success2. Crossing overdepends on distance between genes andlength of chromosome3. Independent Assortmentthe way one homologous pair lines up has nothing to do with the way another homologous pair lines up!

Detecting genetic DisordersUltrasound locates position of fetusAmniocentesis uses a needle to withdraw some amniotic fluid from around fetusFluid is in uterusFetal cells can be analysedChorionic Villus Sampling (CVS) draws cells from outer membrane of embryoCVS can be used as early as 8 weeks of pregnancy
