MEIOSIS: THE PROCESSBiology 12
Cartoon of the day:
Context: Meiosis allows for the formation of sperm and egg cells
Overview: Interphase Meiosis I
Prophase I Metaphase I Anaphase I Telophase I (and cytokinesis)
Meiosis II Prophase II Metaphase II Anaphase II Telophase II (and cytokinesis)
Meiosis I: Interphase The chromatin begins to
condense into chromosomes, which duplicate
Identical to interphase in mitosis
Chromosome duplication
Meiosis I: Prophase I In meiosis (unlike
mitosis), the process called synapsis occurs.
Tetrads of homologous chromosome form
There may be an exchange of genetic material, called crossing over
Crossing over (synapsis): Non-sister chromatids
of homologous chromosomes interchange genes
The pairing (formation of the tetrad) allows crossing over to take place and this enables genetic variations in the daughter cells.
Meiosis I: Metaphase ITetrads line up at the
equatorAlignment is random
so that chromosomes from one will be mixed with the other parent when they move apart
Meiosis I: Anaphase IOne homologous
chromosome of each pair is pulled to each end of the cell.
**Remember in mitosis, it was the chromatids that separated, not pairs of chromosomes!
Meiosis I: Telophase I (and cytokinesis I)
The cell begins to divide into two daughter cells.
Each cell produced after cytokinesis has been reduce from diploid to haploid.
Interphase: Very short DNA is not replicated before meiosis II
Meiosis II: Prophase IINuclear
membrane begins to dissolve
Spindle fibers begin to form
Meiosis II: Metaphase II Spindle fibres attach
to centromeres Sister chromatids
line up at equator
Meiosis II: Anaphase II Centromeres divide
in two Spindle fibres pull
sister chromatids towards opposite ends of cell (pole)
Meiosis II: Telophase II and (cytokinesis II)
Nuclear membrane reforms and cytoplasm divides
Result: Formation of four
cells Are sex cells (egg
or sperm) Haploid (carries
half the number of chromosomes of somatic cells)
