  3. In The Beginning Two • Humans and many other complex multicelled organisms incorporate genetic recombination in their reproduction • Reproduction in which there is a re-mixing of the genetic material is called sexual reproduction • Two cells, a sperm and an egg, unite to form a zygote, the single cell from which the organism develops • Meiosis is the process of producing sperm and eggs (gametes)

  14. Gametes Are Haploid • Gametes must have half the genetic material of a normal cell • If the genetic material in the gametes was not halved, when they combined the zygote would have more genetic material than the parents • Meiosis is specialized cell division resulting in cells with half the genetic material of the parents • Gametes have exactly one set of chromosomes, this state is called haploid (1n) • Regular cells have two sets of chromosomes, this state is called diploid (2n)

  15. Stages Of Meiosis • Meiosis resembles mitosis except that it is actually two divisions, not one • These divisions are called Meiosis I and Meiosis II • Meiosis I results in haploid cells with chromosomes made up of two chromotids • Meiosis II is essentially mitosis on haploid cells • Stages of meiosis resemble mitosis with two critical differences: the first in Prophase I and the second in Metaphase I

  16. Stages Of Meiosis - Meiosis I • Prophase I - The beginning phase - • DNA which was unraveled and spread all over the nucleus is condensed and packaged • Homologous chromosomes (each made of two identical chromatids) come together and form tetrads (4 chromatids) • Crossing over, in which chromatids within tetrads exchange genetic material, occurs • Metaphase I - Middle stage - Tetrads line up along the equator of the cell

  17. Stages Of Meiosis - Meiosis I • Anaphase I - One copy of each chromosome still composed of two chromatids moves to each pole of the cell • Telophase I - End stage - New nuclear membranes are formed around the chromosomes and cytokinesis (cytoplasm division) occurs resulting in two haploid daughter cells

  18. Stages Of Meiosis - Meiosis II • Prophase II - Cells do not typically go into interphase between Meiosis I and II, thus chromosomes are already condensed • Metaphase II - Chromosomes line up at the equator of the two haploid cells produced in meiosis I • Anaphase II - Chromosomes made up of two chromatids split to make chromosomes with one chromatid which migrate to the poles of the cells • Telophase II - Cytokinesis and reformation of the nuclear membrane in haploid cells each with one set of chromosomes made of one chromatid

  19. Mother cell Interphase Prophase I: Condensing Chromosomes Prophase I: Tetrad formation/ crossing over Metaphase I Meiosis II Anaphase I Telophase I Stages Of Meiosis: Meiosis I

  20. Metaphase II Anaphase II Telophase II Stages Of Meiosis: Meiosis II The products of meiosis are 4 haploid cells each with a unique set of chromosomes. Telophase I Prophase II The products of mitosis are 2 diploid cells with identical chromosomes.

  21. Prophase I: Tetrad formation/ crossing over Metaphase I Telophase I Telophase II Anaphase I Crossing Over Because of crossing over, every gamete receives a unique set of genetic information.
