MEIOSIS This presentation contains copyrighted material under the educational fair use exemption to the U.S. copyright law. Meiosis (key concepts) ! Nuclear division ! Results in half the DNA as parent ! Gametes in animals " Sperm ! and egg Meiosis produces ! 4 daughter cells ! Each different combination of chromosomes Meiosis (overview) ! Theory ! More genetically variable offspring of population " More able to resist disease or environmental extremes Genes = section of DNA that influences one or more hereditary traits in an individual ! Alleles ! ! Different version of a specific gene " Mother’s " black hair " Father’s " allele allele blonde hair Chromosomes role in sex ! Humans ! 46 chromosomes " “karyotype” ! Homologous " Same chromosomes genes, but possibly different alleles " Humans have 23 paired sets of chromosomes ! Diploid cells " 2n=46 Sex cells ! Gametes ! One ! from “mother”, one from “father” In humans ! n=23 (haploid) ! 22 autosomes " Non-sex ! 1 chromosomes sex chromosome " X or Y X+X=female ! X+Y=male ! Before Meiosis Each chromosome is replicated ! Producing identical sister chromatids ! Meiosis is in 2 parts Fertilization The Cycle of Sex Early Prophase I Chromosomes condense; spindle apparatus forms ! Homologous pairs combine into tetrad ! ! 2 non-sister chromatids Interphase Early Prophase I Late Prophase I Late Prophase I Non-sister chromatids separate ! Crossing over happens ! Interphase Early Prophase I Late Prophase I Crossing over ! Individual chromosomes carry genes from both parents via “crossing over” ! Known ! as “recombinant chromosomes” Late Prophase I Metaphase I ! Tetrads line up at metaphase plate Metaphase I Anaphase I Telophase I & Cytokinesis Anaphase I ! Paired homologous chromosomes separate ! Migrate to opposite ends of cell Metaphase I Anaphase I Telophase I & Cytokinesis Telophase I & Cytokinesis Paired homologous chromosomes keep migrating ! Cell divides ! Metaphase I Anaphase I Telophase I & Cytokinesis Prophase II ! Spindle fibers attach ! to centromere of each sister chromatid Prophase II Metaphase II Anaphase II Telophase II Metaphase II ! Replicated chromosomes line up ! At metaphase plate Prophase II Metaphase II Anaphase II Telophase II Anaphase II ! Sister chromosomes separate ! daughter chromosomes move to opposite sides Prophase II Metaphase II Anaphase II Telophase II Telophase II Chromosomes arrive at opposite ends ! Nuclear envelope forms around haploids ! Prophase II Metaphase II Anaphase II Telophase II Mitosis vs. Meiosis ! Meiosis ! Homologous chromo- somes pair ! Four daughter cells " Half genetic material as parents ! Mitosis ! Homologous chromosomes don’t pair ! Two daughter cells " Genetically parents identical to
