MEIOSIS
Meiosis
• The form of cell division by which gametes,
with half the number of chromosomes, are
produced.
• Diploid (2n)

haploid (n)
• Meiosis is sexual reproduction.
• Two divisions (meiosis I and meiosis II).
Fertilization
• The fusion of a sperm and egg to form a zygote.
• A zygote is a fertilized egg
n=23

2n=46

Meiosis
• Sex cells divide to produce gametes (sperm
or egg).
• Gametes have half the # of chromosomes.
• Occurs only in gonads (testes or ovaries).
Male: spermatogenesis
Female: oogenesis
• Meiosis is similar to mitosis with some
chromosomal differences.

Interphase I
• Similar to mitosis interphase.
• Chromosomes replicate (S phase).
• Each duplicated chromosome consist of two
identical sister chromatids attached at their
centromeres.
• Centriole pairs also replicate.
Interphase I
• Nucleus and nucleolus visible.

Meiosis I (four phases)
• Cell division that reduces the chromosome
number by one-half.
• four phases:
a. prophase I
b. metaphase I
c. anaphase I
d. telophase I
Prophase I
• Longest and most complex phase (90%).
• Chromosomes condense.
• Synapsis occurs: homologous chromosomes
come together to form a tetrad.
• Tetrad is two chromosomes or four
chromatids (sister and nonsister chromatids).

Homologous Chromosomes
• Pair of chromosomes (maternal and paternal) that are
similar in shape and size.
• Homologous pairs (tetrads) carry genes controlling
the same inherited traits.
• Each locus (position of a gene) is in the same
position on homologues.
• Humans have 23 pairs of homologous chromosomes.
a. 22 pairs of autosomes
b. 01 pair of sex chromosomes
Karyotype
• A method of organizing the chromosomes of a
cell in relation to number, size, and type.

Humans have 23 Sets of Homologous Chromosomes
Each Homologous set is made up of 2 Homologues.

Autosomes
(The Autosomes code for most of the offspring’s traits)
In Humans the
“Autosomes”
are sets 1 - 22
21 trisomy – Downs
Syndrome
Can you see the
extra 21st
chromosome?
Is this person
male or female?
Sex Chromosomes
The Sex Chromosomes code for the sex of the offspring.
** If the offspring has two “X” chromosomes it will be a female.
** If the offspring has one “X” chromosome and one “Y”
chromosome it will be a male.
In Humans the
“Sex
Chromosomes”
are the 23rd set
XX chromosome - female
XY chromosome - male
Boy or Girl? The Y Chromosome “Decides”

Crossing Over
• Crossing over (variation) may occur between
nonsister chromatids at the chiasmata.
• Crossing over: segments of nonsister
chromatids break and reattach to the other
chromatid.
• Chiasmata (chiasma) are the sites of crossing
over.
Crossing Over - variation

Another Way Meiosis Makes Lots of
Different Sex Cells – Crossing-Over
Crossing-over multiplies the already huge number of
different gamete types produced by independent
Sex Chromosomes
XX chromosome - female
XY chromosome - male

Metaphase I
• Shortest phase
• Tetrads align on the metaphase plate.
• INDEPENDENT ASSORTMENT OCCURS:
1. Orientation of homologous pair to poles is random.
2. Variation
3. Formula: 2n
Example: 2n = 4
then n = 2
thus 22 = 4 combinations

Question:
• In terms of Independent Assortment how many different combinations of
sperm could a human male produce?
Answer
• Formula: 2n
• Human chromosomes:
2n = 46
n = 23
• 223 = ~8 million combinations
Anaphase I
• Homologous chromosomes separate and
move towards the poles.
• Sister chromatids remain attached at their
centromeres.
Anaphase I
Telophase I
• Each pole now has haploid set of
chromosomes.
• Cytokinesis occurs and two haploid daughter
cells are formed.
Telophase I
Meiosis II
• No interphase II
(or very short - no more DNA replication)
• Remember: Meiosis II is similar to mitosis
Prophase II
• same as prophase in mitosis
Metaphase II
• same as metaphase in mitosis
metaphase plate
metaphase plate
Anaphase II
• same as anaphase in mitosis
• sister chromatids separate
Telophase II
• Same as telophase in mitosis.
• Nuclei form.
• Cytokinesis occurs.
• Remember:
four haploid daughter cells
produced.
gametes = sperm or egg

Variation
• Important to population as the raw
material for natural selection.
• Question:
What are the three sexual sources of
genetic variation?
Answer:
1. crossing over (prophase I)
2. independent assortment (metaphase I)
3. random fertilization
Remember: variation is good!
Question:
• A cell containing 20 chromosomes (diploid)
at the beginning of meiosis would, at its
completion, produce cells containing how
many chromosomes?
Answer:
• 10 chromosomes (haploid)
Fertilization
• The fusion of a sperm and egg to form a zygote.
• A zygote is a fertilized egg

Question:
• A cell containing 40 chromatids at the
beginning of meiosis would, at its completion,
produce cells containing how many
chromosomes?
Answer:
• 10 chromosomes
