5. The Phases of Meiosis Meiosis I Prophase I* Metaphase I* Anaphase I*
Telophase I
* indicates significant differences from mitosis
Meiosis II
Prophase II
Metaphase II
Anaphase II
Telophase II
Events in all phases of meiosis II are very similar to mitosis.
IN YOUR NOTEBOOKS: Outline events and sketch cells in each phase of meiosis I and II. Chart Three columns—Name of phase, events, sketch.

6. Crossing Over

7. Spindle fibers attach to the chromosomes.
Meiosis I
Anaphase I
Prophase I
Interphase I
Metaphase I
The fibers pull the homologous chromosomes toward the opposite ends of the cell.
Each chromosome pairs with its corresponding homologous chromosome to form a tetrad.
Cells undergo a round of DNA replication, forming duplicate Chromosomes.
Spindle fibers attach to the chromosomes.

8. Meiosis II results in four haploid (N) daughter cells.
Prophase II
Metaphase II
Anaphase II
Meiosis I results in two haploid (N) daughter cells, each with half the number of chromosomes as the original.
The chromosomes line up in a similar way to the metaphase stage of mitosis.
Telophase II
The sister chromatids separate and move toward opposite ends of the cell.
Meiosis II results in four haploid (N) daughter cells.

9. Questions
How could the final products of meiosis be different than the ones shown in the diagram?
Are these the only possible products of meiosis for the cell in the diagram? Explain.
In your groups:
Where does this different arrangement originate (which phase of meiosis)?

10. AIM: What events take place at each phase of meiosis?
Do Now: How could a cell have 46 chromosomes and be haploid?
VOCABULARY: meiosis, diploid, haploid, gamete, tetrad, homologous chromosomes, crossing over
Have out HW
Quiz tomorrow on Meiosis (Chapter 11-4)
HW due Friday Pg 1025, ques 1-19 and 22

11. Review of HW Describe the main result of meiosis
Four haploid cells genetically different from each other and from the original cell
What do the terms diploid and haploid mean?
Diploid: two sets of chromosomes; haploid is one set of chromosomes
What is crossing over?
Homologous chromosomes pair up and form tetrads, which may exchange portions of their chromatids, resulting in the exchange of alleles between the homologous chromosomes
In human cells 2N=46. How many chromosomes would you expect to find in a sperm cell? In an egg cell? In a white blood cell? Explain.
Both sperm and egg cells have 23 chromosomes because they are gametes, which are haploid cells. A white blood cell has 46 chromosomes because it is a diploid body cell.

12. Compare and Contrast Mitosis vs. Meiosis
Function
Location in Body
Number of Daughter Cells
Change in Chromosome Number
Number of Phases
Number of Cell Divisons
Difference in DNA between parent cell and daughter cells

13. Review of Meiosis How many phases are there?
What is a tetrad and when does it form?
When does crossing over take place?
What happens in metaphase I, anaphase I and telophase I?
What happens in metaphase II, anaphase II and telophase II?
Which stage of meiosis is most like mitosis?
What do you think would happen if the homologous pairs didn’t fully separate during anaphase I?
