Cell Cycle: Mitosis, Meiosis, and Genetic Variation
Explore the intricate processes of cell division through mitosis and meiosis, understanding the significance of genetic variation. Dive into the world of germ cells and chromosome arrangements, gaining insights into the complexities of DNA replication and nucleus division. Unravel the terminologies of karyotype, autosomes, and sex chromosomes, ultimately discovering the essence of haploid and diploid sets in the realm of cellular biology.

Q2 WK3 D2 MEIOSIS
Meiosis Meiosis Meiosis is thetype of cell division by which germ cells (eggs and sperm) are produced. One parent cell produces four four daughter cells. Daughter cells have half the number of chromosomes found in the parent cell
Meiosis Meiosis During meiosis, DNA replicates once, but the nucleus divides twice. There are 2 parts to Meiosis: 1. Meiosis 1 2. Meiosis 2 The 4 new daughter cells have variation of the parent DNA; this is genetic variation
Meiosis Terminology Karyotype: Arranging of chromosomes from largest to smallest; pairing up the homologous chromosomes Autosomes: All non-sex chromosomes; (#1-22 for humans) Sex Chromosomes: Chromosomes that determine the sex of an organism (#23 for humans) Set (n): # of different chromosomes. REMEMBER: Haploid = 1set, Diploid= 2 sets
Karyotype of a human Is this person male or female? http://www.biologyjunction.com/karyotype_female.jpg How many sex chromosomes are present? How many autosome chromosomes are present? How many homologous pairs of chromosomes are present?
Background on Meiosis Meiosis involves 2 divisions of the nucleus Meiosis 1 & Meiosis 2 Meiosis STARTS with HOMOLOGOUS CHROMOSOMES Homologous Chromosomes: They are similar in shape, size & genetic content
Meiosis 1: 1 Meiosis 1: 1st st Division of Meiosis Division of Meiosis Prophase I: Chromosomes condense, nuclear envelope breaks, homologous chromosomes pair at ends. ***Cross-Over: Part of chromatid on 1 homologous chromosome exchanges with the other chromosome***
Meiosis 1: 1 Meiosis 1: 1st st Division of Meiosis Division of Meiosis Metaphase I: Homologous chromosomes move to center of the cell by the spindle fibers. Anaphase I: Homologous chromosomes separate and move to opposite poles, BUT sister chromatids stay together. A set of chromosomes moves to each pole Telophase I: The spindle fibers disappear, cells begin to cleave; still, two sets of chromosomes are at opposite poles

End of Meiosis I http://www.phschool.com/science/biology_place/labbench/lab3/images/stages2.gif Once Meiosis I is complete, cytokinesis occurs and the cell splits into 2 haploid cells. These 2 cells enter Meiosis II
Meiosis II Meiosis II Prophase II: A new spindle forms around the chromosomes (no longer HOMOLOGOUS CHROMOSOMES) Metaphase II: Chromosomes line up at center & spindle fibers attach to centromere Anaphase II: Centromeres split, chromatids move to opposite poles of cell Telophase II: Nuclear envelope forms around each set of chromosomes & spindles retracts, cell begins cytokinesis
Result of Meiosis II Result of Meiosis II 4 HAPLOID cells form as a result of Meiosis II Haploid = cell containing 1 set of chromosomes
Meiosis II: Meiosis II: 2nd division of Meiosis

Differences in Mitosis & Differences in Mitosis & Meiosis Meiosis Mitosis Asexual Cell divides once Two daughter cells form Genetic informationS is identical Meiosis Sexual Cell divides twice Four haploid daughter cells form Genetic information is different
