Halving the Chromosome Number
• In sexually reproducing organisms, meiosis reduces the chromosome number from diploid to haploid.
– Gametes are haploid, and the fusion of two gametes forms a diploid organism.
3
Mader: Biology 8th Ed.
Homologous Pairs
• Homologous chromosomes (homologues) are paired chromosomes that code for the same traits (one inherited from each parent).
4
Mader: Biology 8th Ed.
Overview of Meiosis
• Meiosis requires two nuclear divisions and produces four haploid daughter cells.
– Daughter cells receive one of each kind of parental chromosome, but in different combinations.
– Synapsis results in a bivalent.
!Homologues align and separate.

Mader: Biology 8th Ed.
Overview of Meiosis
• Daughter chromosomes, derived from sister chromatids, move to opposite poles.
– Chromosomes in the four daughter cells have only one chromatid.

Genetic Recombination
• Meiosis helps ensure genetic recombination.
• In a changing environment, asexual reproduction might saddle an offspring with a parent’s disadvantageous gene combination.
– Sexual reproduction might give offspring better chance of survival.

Genetic Recombination
- Crossing-over is an exchange of genetic material between nonsister chromatids of a bivalent during meiosis I.
!Homologues are held together by chiasmata, regions where the nonsister chromatids are attached due to cross-over.

Genetic Recombination
– Independent assortment allows homologous chromosomes to separate independently.
!When homologues align at the equator, maternal or paternal homologue may be oriented toward either pole.

Independent Assortment
14
Mader: Biology 8th Ed.
Genetic Recombination
– Fertilization
!Gametes produced by one person are expected to be genetically different from the gametes produced by another person.
"Fusion of gametes causes combination of parental genes.

Phases of Meiosis
• Prophase I
– Homologous chromosomes pair during synapsis.
• Metaphase I
– Homologous pairs align at the metaphase plate.

Phases of Meiosis
• Anaphase I
– Homologous chromosomes separate, and move towards poles.
• Telophase I
– Daughter cells have one chromosome from each homologous pair.
• Interkinesis
– Chromosomes still contain two chromatids.

Meiosis II
• Duplicated, haploid chromosomes align at metaphase plate.
– Sister chromatids separate at the centromere, giving rise to daughter chromosomes.
!At end of telophase II and cytokinesis, there are four haploid cells.

Human Life Cycle
• In animals, meiosis occurs only during gamete production.
– In males, meiosis is a part of spermatogenesis.
– In females, meiosis is a part of oogenesis.
