Presentation Transcript

  1. Sexual Reproduction and Meiosis Chapter 10, Section 2

  2. What is Meiosis? • The process in which sex cells reproduce themselves • Sex cells form in the appropriate sexual reproductive organs • Produces haploid sex cells • Sex cells contain half the genetic material required to make a person • 23 pairs of chromosomes

  3. Meiosis Phases • The first phase Is similar to Mitosis

  4. Need for Meiosis • Meiosis is critical for sexual reproduction to occur • Sex cells, either an egg or sperm, typically come from different organisms of the same species (plants can be an exception) • Fertilization is when the sperm gets inside of an egg • Once this occurs, the cells are now called a zygote

  5. Videos • Meiosis animation • Meiosis song • Meiosis rap • Meiosis explanation
