Sex cells do not undergo mitosis.
11.4 Meiosis
Meiosis: a type of cell division that results in 4 daughter cells with half the number of chromosomes.

Homologous chromosomes: paired, have the same structure and position.
Diploid: A cell that contains a homologous set of chromosomes 2N= 8
Haploid: A gamete (sex cell) which contains only one set of chromosomes
N= 4

Diploid CellGametes: mature male or female haploid cells
Sperm: male gamete
Egg: female gamete

There are two distinct divisions that occur:Meiosis I and Meiosis II

Prophase I Tetrads form and crossing over occurs.
● Crossing-over: homologous chromosomes exchange portions of their chromatids, increases genetic variation!
● Tetrad: attached pair of homologous chromosomes
Meiosis I: the first cell division occurs

The newly recombined chromatids will continue through Meiosis I

Meiosis II: Second cell division occurs (without DNA replication), ends with 4 haploid daughter cells.
