I. Chromosome Numbers and CharacteristicsA. Chromosomes
1. Different amounts in every organism
a. Human b. Fruit Fly
c. Dog
23 pairs
4 pairs
39 pairs

2. Same #’s are always passed on.
B. Diploid
1. Having 2 of each chromosome
2. 2n (n = # of paired chromosomes)
so… 2n or 2(23) = 46 chromosomes
3. Homologue – 1 chromosome
a. How many homologues?
b. Combinations of different
homologues determine specific
traits.

II. MeiosisWhere do animal and plant cells get their
homologues from?
A. Haploid Sex Cells1. Def – cells that contain ½ of a parents genetic information.
a. Haploid cells = sperm/egg represented by “n”
2. Sexual Reproduction – 2 haploid cells fuse together to form a diploid cell. (zygote)
forms mature multicellular organism
Male and female reproduction zygote (single fertilized egg)
parents

B. Def of Meiosis – the process by which haploid cells are produced.
or the formation of sperm and egg
only occurs in reproductive tissues
provides the right # of chromosomes
1. 2 parts
a. Meiosis I and Meiosis II
![Page 9: Chapter 7 Lesson 2 “Production of Reproductive Cells”](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052317/56649f4f5503460f94c7077f/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
III. Meiosis I (In males) (pg. 184-185)A. Interphase I
-chromosomes are duplicated
B. Prophase I
-nuclear membrane dissolves
-centrioles move apart
-spindle forms
-tetrads form (group of 4)
![Page 10: Chapter 7 Lesson 2 “Production of Reproductive Cells”](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052317/56649f4f5503460f94c7077f/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
C. Metaphase I
-tetrads line up at the equator
-centrioles are found at the poles
![Page 11: Chapter 7 Lesson 2 “Production of Reproductive Cells”](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052317/56649f4f5503460f94c7077f/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
D. Anaphase I
-centromeres do not break
-sister chromatids stay connected
-separation of the homologous pair
![Page 12: Chapter 7 Lesson 2 “Production of Reproductive Cells”](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052317/56649f4f5503460f94c7077f/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
E. Telophase I
-cell begins to pinch
-2 cells formed
![Page 13: Chapter 7 Lesson 2 “Production of Reproductive Cells”](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052317/56649f4f5503460f94c7077f/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
IV. Meiosis II*Similar to mitosisA. Interphase – no DNA replication; briefB. Metaphase II – chromosomes move to the
equatorC. Anaphase II – centromeres split and sister
chromatids move to the poles.D. Telophase II – cell pinches; 4 haploid cells
are produced -cells now contain “n”
4 sperm cells

V. Meiosis in Females (pg. 187)*Similar process but a couple different twists*
1. Go through meiosis when in the womb (approx. 12 weeks)2. 1 cell survives per cycle
A. Meiosis I1. Cell divides; unequal sizes
a. Large cell continues to meiosis IIb. Small cell usually dies
B. Meiosis II2. Cell divides; unequal sizes
a. Large cell can become fertilized (n)b. Small cell usually dies
1 egg cell
![Page 15: Chapter 7 Lesson 2 “Production of Reproductive Cells”](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052317/56649f4f5503460f94c7077f/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
VI. Why Meiosis?A. Produce haploid cells
B. Continues life cycle
C. Genetic Variation…
1. mitosis replica cells
2. meiosis variation of cells
a. Allows change
b. Better chance of survival (natural selection)
c. Genetic Recombination – reshuffling of chromosomes and genetic information.
