1. Meiosis Produces Gametes
biology
I will know the differences in meiosis in males and females.
I will understand that only certain cells undergo meiosis. I will know that meiosis creates 4 non-identical haploid gametes.

Phases of Meiosis
Meiosis
Meiosis is a process in which 4 haploid gametes are created that are non- identical.

11-4 Meiosis
In male animals, meiosis results in four equal-sized gametes called sperm.
Meiosis produces four genetically different haploid cells. In males, meiosis results in four equal-sized gametes called sperm.

-occurs in testes in human males

11-4 Meiosis
In many female animals, only one egg results from meiosis. The other three cells, called polar bodies, are usually not involved in reproduction.
Meiosis produces four genetically different haploid cells. In females, only one large egg cell results from meiosis. The other three cells, called polar bodies, usually are not involved in reproduction.

8. Meiosis in Females
-occurs in ovaries in human females

9. Meiosis in Males Meiosis in Females -occurs in ovaries (humans)
-occurs in testes (humans)
-creates 4 sperm that are non-identical but are equal sized
-occurs frequently
Meiosis in Females
-occurs in ovaries (humans)
-creates 1 egg and 3 polar bodies that are non-identical and different sizes
-occurs less frequent
