Meiosis

Meiosis. Gamete Production. Similar in many ways to mitosis Several differences however Involves 2 cell divisions Results in 4 cells with 1/2 the normal genetic information. Vocabulary: Diploid (2N) - Normal amount of genetic material Haploid (N) - 1/2 the genetic material.

Meiosis

Meiosis. Unit 3 Part II – The Cell. What is Meiosis. A form of cell division happening in sexually reproducing organisms . Consists of 2 consecutive cell divisions (meiosis I and meiosis II ). Produces 4 sex cells. Distributes maternal and paternal chromosomes evenly and randomly.

Meiosis. Heredity. Heredity Passing of genetic traits from parent to offspring Chromosome theory of heredity Chromosomes carry genes Gene = unit of heredity. What Meiosis is all About. Meiosis allows the creation of unique individuals through sexual reproduction. In The Beginning Two.

MEIOSIS. Reduction-Division Genetic Recombination. Why Do we Need Meiosis?. It is the fundamental basis of sexual reproduction Two haploid (1n) gametes are brought together through fertilization to form a diploid (2n) zygote. Meiosis. Sex cells divide to produce GAMETES (sperm or egg) .

Meiosis

Meiosis. Gamete Formation. Vocabulary. Gametes = sex cells (eggs, sperm) Homologous chromosomes = paired chromosomes (maternal and paternal) that have the same genes Haploid = Having only one copy of each chromosome (as opposed to diploid , which has two copies of each).

MEIOSIS

MEIOSIS. 4.2. Key Concepts. Gametes have half the number of chromosomes that body cells have. During meiosis, diploid cells undergo two cell divisions that result in haploid cells. Haploid and Diploid. The cells which contain two of each type of chromosome are called diploid.

Meiosis. Cellular Reproduction Part II. Ploidy. Ploidy (N) describes the number of copies of chromosomes a cell contains. Haploid (1N), Diploid (2N), Triploid (3N), T etraploid (4N). Humans are diploid organisms, each cell has 2 sets of chromosomes.
