cells
makes up most of the cells in our
e . g . include spleen , and eyeballs
have the normal number of chromosomes ( )
chromosomes for humans

2

Gametes
cells used in
e . g . include
have half the normal number of chromosomes ( )
chromosomes for humans

3

Why 2 cell divisions ?
Sometimes need cells exactly alike

e . g . cut yourself , are growing , old / dead cells
reproduction
( body ) cells
Sometimes need cells to make new organisms

Cells have the genetic material
Makes / sex cells ? egg , sperm , pollen
For reproduction

4

Can have 1 copy or two
copies are called sister

have same shape , i . e . same genes in order
you got 1 from and 1 from Dad
but of those gets passed down
They meet in a process called
during ? beg . of meiosis
form a structure called a

5

Prophase I
similar to mitosis :
breaks down
forms chromosomes
move to ends
What ? s different :
Line up by shape ( ) , process is called . Forms a .
can occur : part of 1 chromosome changes with same part of its homolog .

6

Metaphase I
What ? s similar to mitosis :
line up in the middle
: which homolog is on which side is random
What ? s different :
Line up according to shape ( line up , rather than )
Anaphase I
What ? s similar to mitosis :
Chromosomes ( tetrads ) split apart and move to of cell
What ? s different :
split apart
centromeres ? t split
* cells will now be *

7

Telophase I
What ? s similar to mitosis :
cells are formed
chromosomes are at the of the cell
reforms
happens next
What ? s different :
cells with two copies of the chromosome , not 1 copy of different chromosomes
Meiosis I is called , because you ? ve reduced the cell from to haploi d

8

The two daughter cells then undergo a second division with the stages / events .
Prophase II
What ? s similar to mitosis :
Spindles form
move towards middle
breaks down
What ? s different from mitosis :
Nothing . It ? s exactly the same , except that the cell is .
Metaphase II
What ? s similar to mitosis :
Chromosomes line up in the
What ? s different from mitosis :
. It ? s exactly the same , except that the cell is haploid .

9

Anaphase II
What ? s similar to mitosis :
Individual are moved towards ends of the cells
splits
What ? s different from mitosis :
Nothing . It ? s exactly the , except that the cell is .
Telophase II
What ? s similar to mitosis :
reforms around the chromatids
( cell membrane pinches in , divide and cells separate )
What ? s different from mitosis :
cells are formed ( total )
Nothing . It ? s exactly the same , except that the cell is

10

After meiosis the cells undergo one more process to become ( or in plants ) . . . Gametogenesis .
Sperm cells are much smaller and contributes just .
Changes shape so it can
Egg cells contribute , too , so they are .
Only 1 egg receives all of the organelles , etc . The other 3 are and called and eventually break down

11

Each starts with a cell .
Mitosis ends up with diploid cells exactly
Meiosis ends up with cells identica l

12

Two things that can happen during meiosis that can recombine for future : During : In the tetrad , pieces of break off and places . Genes exchanged between Mom ? s and Dad ? s chromosome s

13

Independent assortment :
chromosomes randomly are separated in . Genes passed on are picked .
