12/8/13 Objective: How does meiosis contribute to genetic variation? Do Now: -Take out your notes, online lab, and cancer activity from Friday
Produces sex cells (egg and sperm) Produces 4 cells with HALF the normal chromosome number How many chromosomes do human body cells have? How many chromosomes do human sex cells have? (egg and sperm) How the heck does that happen?????
Gametes= sex cells that have HALF the normal number of chromosomes (human= 23) Somatic Cells= body cells that have full set of chromosomes (human = 46)
-Haploid (n): a cell with half the normal number of chromosomes (gametes) -Diploid (2n): a cell with full set of chromosomes (somatic cell)
Karyotype Sex Chromosomes: 23 rd Pair: XX = female XY= male
Homologous Chromosomes Same chromosome, one is from mom, one is from dad
Downs Syndrome
Turners Syndrome
Prophase I: - Spindle forms, chromosomes condense nuclear membrane disappears -Homologous chromosomes stick together forming 4 chromatids (tetrads)
Genetic Variation Crossing Over: occurs during Prophase I where homologous chromosomes exchange pieces.
Metaphase I: Tetrads (Homologous chromosomes) line up at the middle
Anaphase I: Homologous chromosomes separate and move to poles
Telophase I: 2 daughter cells are formed (chromosomes are still duplicated)
Prophase II: Spindle forms in daughter cells, nuclear membrane breakdown
Metaphase 2: Sister chromatids line up in the middle of cell
Anaphase II: Sister chromatids separate and move to poles
Telophase II: Cells split producing 4 haploid daughter cells that are ALL GENETICALLY DIFFERENT!
Genetic Variation Crossing Over: occurs during Prophase I where homologous chromosomes exchange pieces.

2. Crossing Over – Chromosomes exchange sections of DNA

Meiosis Sour Straws 3. Meiosis I: Homologous Chromosomes separate
Meiosis Sour Straws 4. Sister chromatids separate to form four unique gametes
