• Defined: Process
where the
chromosome number
is reduced by half
• Gametes created
(egg, sperm, pollen)
• End Result: Four
Haploid Cells
• Same process
–G1: Growth
–S: Chromatin
duplicated
–G2: Growth
Synthesis (S stage)
Chromatin duplicated
Mom 1
Dad 1
• Similar as mitosis, except…
• Two Events:
– 1) Synapsis: Pairing of homologous
chromosomes
– Dad’s #1 chromosome pairs with Mom’s #1, etc…
– The four paired chromatids equals a TETRAD
– 2) Crossing Over: Exchange of genes

(tetrads) align along cell
equator

• Cytokinesis divides the cells
• Each cell contains 1 of the
homologous chromosomes
– In humans = 23 chromosomes

End Result: Four haploid cells
Spermatogonium
(diploid)
Meiosis 1
• Defined: Production
of sperm cells
• Location: male testes
• Makes final changes
to sperm cell
• Four haploid sperm
cells at a time
Meiosis 2
Spermatogenesis
Oocyte
(diploid)
• Defined: Production of
the egg cell (ovum)
• Location: female
ovaries
• During meiosis I:
Cytoplasm distributed
unequally
• During meiosis II: cells
split again
• End result: 1 mature
cell, 3 polar bodies
Meiosis 1
Meiosis 2
Oogenesis
• Division of somatic
cells
• Ex: Blood cells, skin
cells, nerve cells…
• End Result: 2 Diploid
Cells
• Importance: Replaces
aging cells
• Importance: Form of
asexual reproduction
• Division of gametes
• Ex: Sperm and Egg
cells
• End Result: 4
Haploid cells
• Importance: Reduces
the gamete
chromosome number
by half

1) Name three ways that meiosis and mitosis differ.
2) Pick a stage of meiosis…any stage. Describe what happens
in it.
3) What type of cells does meiosis create?
4) What are homologous chromosomes?
5) When do homologous chromosomes move to opposite ends
of the cell?
6) When do chromatids move to opposite ends of the cell?
7) Why is no DNA created in meiosis 2?
8) How does meiosis differ in males vs. females?
