  1. Meiosis: 10th Grade

  2. Resources Are all on the Blog!

  3. Homework for Monday Create a document which outlines the process of meiosis AND explains one disease that is caused by an error during meiosis • Your document must be accurate, must demonstrate knowledge, and must be creative • Label AT LEAST: gene; chromosome; DNA, crossing over and all the steps of meiosis • Provide a summary of ONE disease that results from an error during meiosis (a non-disjunction disorder)

  4. What is the biological purpose of sex?

  5. Meiosis is a two step process • Meiosis 1 separates the homologous pairs of chromosomes: this is the reduction division • Meiosis 2 separates the sister chromatids (resembles mitosis) • One single diploid cell produces 4 non-identical haploid cells

  6. Essential definitions: homologous chromosomes • Human somatic cells have 22 homologous chromosome pairs (autosomes) and one non-homologous pair (sex chromosomes) • One maternal/ one paternal • Same size and structure • Same genes at same loci • Alleles may differ

  7. Essential definitions: (sister) chromatids • Chromatid: one of two identical halves (sister chromatids) of a replicated chromosome • NB: following crossing over, sister chromatids are no longer identical!

  8. Essential definitions: Bivalent (tetrad) • One pairof homologous (duplicated) chromosomes which associate during prophase 1 of meiosis • The process of pairing is called synapsis

  9. Getting to grips with meiosis • Meiosis – the movie • Short summary • Fabulous website based tutorial • Step through from Sumanas

  10. Diploid germ cell chromosomes duplicate during S phase BEFORE meiosis

  11. Homework for Monday Create a document which outlines the process of meiosis AND explains one disease that is caused by an error during meiosis • Your document must be accurate, must demonstrate knowledge, and must be creative • Label AT LEAST: gene; chromosome; DNA, crossing over and all the steps of meiosis • Provide a summary of ONE disease that results from an error during meiosis (a non-disjunction disorder)
