Warm Up: Mitosis / Meiosis • What are 3 differences between mitosis and meiosis? • What are 3 similarities between mitosis and meiosis?
Notes #1: Meiosis
I. Background Information • Nucleus: contains chromosomes • Chromosomes: • made of DNA & proteins • 46 = 23 pairs • sex chromosomes: determine sex • XX = female • XY = male • Autosomes: all other chromosomes • Homologous chromosomes: • pair of chromosomes that contain same info • 1 from mom, 1 from dad
C) Gamete: • sex cell (egg / sperm) • Haploid: ½ the number of chromosomes D) Somatic cell: • All other cells in body • diploid: contains all chromosomes
Meiosis: make sex cells Mitosis: make copies of cells for growth & repair
III. Meiosis • A) Background Info • 1) make haploid gametes • 2) 2 parts: • meiosis I • # chromosomes is halved • Separate homologous chromosomes • meiosis II • Separate sister chromatids • Makes exact copy of cells made in meiosis I • 3) Location • Ovaries & testes • 4) Start with 1 cell and end up with 4
B) Meiosis I • 1) Prophase I: homologous chromosomes (w/ chromatids) pair up to form a tetrad
2) Metaphase I: homologous chromosomes line up at equatora) Crossing over can occur
C) Meiosis II • 1) Prophase II
4) Telophase II: each haploid cell divides into 2 cells. 4 haploid cells in all.
Go through Interphase, double up your chromosomes again and start over
