Cell Division
Meiosis Meiosis occurs in sexual
reproduction when a diploid germ cell produces four haploid daughter cells that can mature to become gametes (sperm or egg).
Meiosis
Goal: reduce genetic material by half
Why? n (mom) + n (dad) = 2n (offspring)from mom from dad child
meiosis reducesgenetic content
toomuch!
Just right!
Meiosis: 2 part cell division
Homologous Chromosomes pairs separate
Sister chromatidsseparate
Result: one copy of each numbered chromosome in a gamete.

Prophase I Late
Late prophase Chromatids pair (synapse)
Crossing over occurs between chromatids of the homologous chromosome pair
Metaphase I
Homologous chromosome pairs line up on the cell’s equator
Anaphase I
Chromosomes separate andmove to opposite poles.
Sister chromatids remain Attached at their centromeres.
Telophase I
Nuclear envelopes reforms
Spindle disappears.
Cytokinesis divides cell into two
Meiosis II
End product of meiosis is Each Sex cell /gamete has :1 copy of each chromosome1 copy of each gene segment
Sister chromatids have carry different genetic information due to crossing over
Meiosis II
Prophase II(haploid)
Metaphase II(haploid)
Anaphase II(haploid)
Telophase II(haploid)
Four Non-identical
haploid daughter cells
Prophase II
Nuclear envelope fragments.
Spindle forms.
Metaphase II
Chromosomes align along equator of cell.
Anaphase II
Sister chromatids separateand move to opposite poles.
Telophase II
Nuclear envelope assembles.
Chromosomes unravel.
Spindle disappears.
Cytokinesis divides cell into two.
Results of meiosis
• Four haploid cells
• One copy of each chromosome
•Not the same genes on each chromosome

What Meiosis is About
Meiosis allows the creation of unique individuals through sexual reproduction.

Role Growth and repair Sexual reproduction
MITOSIS MEIOSIS
Occurs in somatic (body) cells Occurs only in gonads (sex organs: ovary/testes)
Produces cells for repair,maintenance, growth, asexual reproduction
Only produces gametes (sex cells: egg/sperm)
Results in identical diploid (2n) daughter cells
Reduction division results in haploid (n) cells
Meiosis II produces gametes with one copy of each chromosome and thus one copy of each gene.
