1. Meiosis

2. Haploid, diploid Monoploid, biploid Monosomic, disomic Asexual, sexual
Gametes are ____, meaning that they carry one of each type of chromosome, while zygotes formed by fertilization are ______ containing two of each type of chromosome.
Haploid, diploid
Monoploid, biploid
Monosomic, disomic
Asexual, sexual 8

3. If an organism contains 20 chromosomes in each body (somatic) cell, then its gametes each contain __ chromosomes. 10 20 5 15 1

4. Which figure shows mitosis?
The figure on the left
The figure on the right
Neither
both 9

5. Meiosis, mitosis Mitosis, meiosis 9
_________ is used to produce new cells for growth and repair or for generation of clones of an organism during asexual reproduction. _______ is used to generate gametes for use in sexual reproduction.
Meiosis, mitosis
Mitosis, meiosis 9

6. II. What is meiosis?
Meiosis is a process in which the number of chromosomes per cell is cut in half through the separation of homologous chromosomes in a diploid (2n) cell.
This will form 4 genetically different sex cells (gametes) that are haploid (n).
This means that it increases the differences between people’s DNA so that every person is genetically different.

7. II. What is meiosis? 46 46 46

8. III. Why does meiosis happen?
Meiosis happens so that sperm and egg cells can be produced so that sexual reproduction can occur.
Sexual reproduction is when two organisms combine their genetic information to produce genetically different offspring (babies).
Do animals reproduce sexually?
Yes
Do plants reproduce sexually?
Do bacteria reproduce sexually?
No! Bacteria reproduce asexually!

10. VI. What Happens During Meiosis?
Before meiosis, our sex cells go through interphase, where the DNA replicates and the cell grows.
DNA replication only occurs once in meiosis, but there are two divisions!!! (Meiosis I and Meiosis II)

11. VI. What happens during meiosis?
Meiosis I:
There are four parts of Meiosis I;
Prophase I, Metaphase I, Anaphase I and Telophase I.

12. VI. What happens during meiosis?

13. Karyotype
Shows 23 pairs of homologous chromosomes

14. VI. What happens during meiosis?
The most important part of Meiosis I is Prophase I. During Prophase I, tetrads form and crossing over occurs.
Tetrads are a pair of homologous chromosomes and consist of 4 chromatids.
Crossing over is when parts of a chromosome (non-sister chromatids) exchange with another chromosome. This occurs within each homologous pair of chromosomes. This is important because it increases genetic variation.

16. Independent Assortment
Independent Assortment occurs during metaphase I.
Creates genetic variation between gametes
Homologous pairs of chromosomes line up in the middle of the cell in a random order each time.

17. VI. What happens during meiosis?
Meiosis II:
There are four parts of Meiosis II;
Prophase II, Metaphase II, Anaphase II and Telophase II.

18. VI. What happens during meiosis?
At the end of Meiosis II, cytokinesis occurs.
Meiosis II resembles Mitosis.
The end result of the entire process of Meiosis (all 8 steps) is four haploid cells that are genetically different. .

28. Model Meiosis with Pop Beads!!
Diploid =
4 chromosomes
(2 homolgous pairs)
Haploid =
2 chromosomes
Gametes should be genetically different due to crossing over and independent assortment.
