MeiosisMeiosis• The form of cell divisioncell division to
produce gametesgametes- cells - cells with halfhalf the number of chromosomeschromosomes
• DiploidDiploid (2n) (2n) haploidhaploid (n) (n)• MeiosisMeiosis is sexualsexual
reproductionreproduction• Two divisionsTwo divisions (meiosis I meiosis I
and meiosis IImeiosis II)
3
MeiosisMeiosis
• Sex cells divide to produce gametes (sperm or egg)
• Meiosis-similar to mitosis with some differences– Requires 2 cell divisions– Makes 4 haploid daughter
cells

MeiosisMeiosis
•Occurs only in gonads (testes or ovaries)
•Male: Spermatogenesis
•Female: Oogenesis

• Similar to mitosismitosis interphase
• ChromosomesChromosomes replicate (S (S phase)phase)
• Duplicated chromosomechromosomes have two identical sister chromatidschromatids attached at the centromerescentromeres
• CentrioleCentriole pair also replicates.

Stages of Meiosis IStages of Meiosis I• Meiosis I- Cell division Meiosis I- Cell division to
reduce chromosomechromosome number by one-half one-half (reduction division)(reduction division)

Prophase IProphase I• Longest and most complexLongest and most complex
phase (90%)phase (90%)• ChromosomesChromosomes condense• SynapsisSynapsis occurs: homologous homologous
chromosomes chromosomes come together forming the tetradtetrad
• TetradTetrad- two replicated chromosomes chromosomes or 4 chromatidschromatids (sister and nonsister)

Homologous Homologous ChromosomesChromosomes
• Pair of chromosomeschromosomes (maternalmaternal and paternalpaternal) similar in shape size, & genes carried
• Homologous pairs (tetrads)(tetrads) carry genes controlling same inherited traits
• Each locuslocus (position of a gene)(position of a gene) holds same position on both homologues
13
Homologous Homologous ChromosomesChromosomes
• Humans- 23 pairs of homologous chromosomeshomologous chromosomes
• First 22 pairs- called autosomes, autosomes, look alikelook alike
• Last pair- called sex sex chromosomeschromosomes
• XX female or XY maleXX female or XY male• (Y much smaller than X)(Y much smaller than X)

Crossing OverCrossing Over• Synapsis- Homologues join Synapsis- Homologues join
togethertogether• Crossing overCrossing over (variation) (variation) can
occur btwn nonsister chromatidschromatids – segments of nonsister chromatidschromatids
break and reattach to the other chromatidchromatid
– Chiasmata (chiasma)-Chiasmata (chiasma)- sites of crossing overcrossing over

Metaphase IMetaphase I
• ShortestShortest phase phase• TetradsTetrads align on the metaphase metaphase
plateplate• Independent assortment occursIndependent assortment occurs• Chromosomes separate Chromosomes separate
randomlyrandomly to the poles of the to the poles of the cellscells
20
Metaphase IMetaphase I• Independent assortment causes
variation in the forming cells• Orientation of homologous pair
to poles is random• Formula for determining
variation: Formula: 2n
ExampleExample: 2n = 4: 2n = 4 then n = 2then n = 2
thus 2thus 22 2 = 4 = 4 combinationscombinations

Question:Question:
• In terms of In terms of Independent Independent Assortment, Assortment, how many how many different combinations different combinations of sperm could a of sperm could a human male produce? human male produce?
23
AnswerAnswer
• Formula: 2Formula: 2nn
• Human chromosomes:Human chromosomes:
2n = 462n = 46
n = 23n = 23
222323 = ~8 million = ~8 million combinationscombinations
24
Anaphase IAnaphase I
• Homologous Homologous chromosomes chromosomes separate and move towards the poles
• Sister chromatids Sister chromatids remain attached at their centromerescentromeres
25
Anaphase IAnaphase I
26
Telophase ITelophase I
•Each pole now has haploidhaploid set of chromosomeschromosomes
• 1n = 23 (human)1n = 23 (human)• CytokinesisCytokinesis occurs and
two haploid daughter cells are formed

QuestionQuestion
•What are the three What are the three sources of genetic sources of genetic variation in sexual variation in sexual reproduction?reproduction?

Answer:Answer:
1.1. Crossing OverCrossing Over (Prophase I)(Prophase I)
2. 2. Independent Independent AssortmentAssortment (Metaphase (Metaphase I)I)
