  3. Things to remember • Genes from both parents are both in sex cells until meiosis occurs! • Meiosis results in 4 genetically different cells! So genetically different offspring result! • Half of genetic info from each parent! • The process is similar to mitosis, with a few VERY IMPORTANT NEW STEPS!

  4. Vocabulary • Homologous Chromosomes: • Chromosomes from female parent that correspond to chromosomes from male parent. • Ex. 2 genes for eye color • 1 gene from mom (on chromosome z) • 1 gene from dad (on chromosome z)

  5. Vocabulary con’t…….. • Diploid (2N): • A cell that contains the full chromosome # • I.e. mitosis always STARTS and RESULTS in a diploid number (46) • I.e. meiosis always STARTS with diploid number (46) • Haploid (N): • A cell (always a gamete) that contains ½ the number of chromosomes • Meiosis results in cells with ½ number of chromosomes (23)! • Crossing-over: • Process when homologous chromosomes “cross” each other and exchange genes • Reason why you aren’t exactly like your siblings!

  6. DRAW CROSSING OVER!

  7. Spermatogenesis and Oogenesis • Spermatogenesis: • Formation of sperm cells • Results in 4 functional gametes • Oogenesis: • Formation of egg cells (ova) • Results in 1 functional gamete and 3 polar bodies

  8. Gametogenesis

  9. KEYS TO MEIOSIS • Original cell has complete set of chromosomes (Diploid or 2N) • 2 divisions result in 4 DAUGHTER CELLS (gametes: 1 ova or 4 sperm) • Genetic material is exchanged during CROSSING OVER • CHROMOSOMES “criss-cross” EXCHANGING GENES • Daughter cells (gametes) are genetically different • Daughter cells (gametes) are now HAPLOID or N( ½ the original # ) • Ex. If original cell has 46 chromosomes, gametes that result from meiosis will have 23 chromosomes • OCCURS ONLY IN MULTICELLUAR, SEXUALLY REPRODUCING ORGANISMS
