BIO 224
Intro to Molecular and Cell Biology
![Page 2: Meiosis BIO 224 Intro to Molecular and Cell Biology.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062515/56649d095503460f949dbaee/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
Meiosis
• Specialized cell cycle that reduces chromo-some number by half
• Two sequential cell divisions follow a single round of DNA replication
• Some unicellular eukaryotes use meiosis for cell division and reproduction
• Germ cells of multicellular eukaryotes undergo meiosis to produce haploid gametes for reproduction
![Page 3: Meiosis BIO 224 Intro to Molecular and Cell Biology.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062515/56649d095503460f949dbaee/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Meiosis and Ploidy
• Chromosome number of an organism is its ploidy
• Meiosis produces haploid daughter cells• Haploid refers to a cell possessing half
the normal chromosome number: n– Gametes, spores
• Diploid refers to a cell possessing the normal chromosome number: 2n– Somatic cells
![Page 4: Meiosis BIO 224 Intro to Molecular and Cell Biology.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062515/56649d095503460f949dbaee/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Meiosis
• Also called reduction-division due to reduction of chromosome number
• Some unicellular eukaryotes use both mitosis and meiosis
• Meiosis is restricted to germ cells for multicellular eukaryotes– Haploid gametes fuse at fertilization to begin
the creation of a diploid organism
![Page 5: Meiosis BIO 224 Intro to Molecular and Cell Biology.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062515/56649d095503460f949dbaee/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Meiosis
• Occurs between interphase periods, like mitosis
• Stages are similar to mitosis, but chromo-some segregation occurs in a different way
• Differs from mitosis in that it results in 4 haploid daughter cells
• Divided into meiosis I and meiosis II
![Page 6: Meiosis BIO 224 Intro to Molecular and Cell Biology.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062515/56649d095503460f949dbaee/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Meiosis I
• Homologous chromosomes pair with one another and members segregate to different daughter cells
• Sister chromatids remain together, resulting in two daughter cells with a member of each chromosome pair
• At the end of MI, cells are haploid with duplicated chromosomes
![Page 7: Meiosis BIO 224 Intro to Molecular and Cell Biology.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062515/56649d095503460f949dbaee/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Prophase I
• An extended prophase, taking up to 90% of the meiotic cycle
• Divided into five stages based on chromo-some morphology– Leptotene– Zygotene– Pachytene– Diplotene– Diakinesis
![Page 8: Meiosis BIO 224 Intro to Molecular and Cell Biology.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062515/56649d095503460f949dbaee/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Prophase I
• Leptotene: initial stage of prophase I– Homologous chromosomes pair up before
condensing– Centromeres are barely visible
• Zygotene: stage where homologous chromosomes become closely associated at synapsis via the synaptomenal complex– Chromosomes remain closely aligned through
following stages
![Page 9: Meiosis BIO 224 Intro to Molecular and Cell Biology.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062515/56649d095503460f949dbaee/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Prophase I
• Pachytene: stage where recombination occurs– Chromosomes continue to shorten and
condense– May last for several days– Synaptomenal complex keeps chromsomes
closely associated through the end of this stage
![Page 10: Meiosis BIO 224 Intro to Molecular and Cell Biology.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062515/56649d095503460f949dbaee/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
The synaptonemal complex
![Page 11: Meiosis BIO 224 Intro to Molecular and Cell Biology.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062515/56649d095503460f949dbaee/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Prophase I
• Diplotene: stage where homologous chromosomes begin to separate– Chromosomes remain associated at
chiasmata– Each pair is called a bivalent
• Diakinesis: the final stage where chromo-somes fully condense in preparation for metaphase
• Nucleoli disappear, nuclear membrane degrades, spindle begins to form
![Page 12: Meiosis BIO 224 Intro to Molecular and Cell Biology.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062515/56649d095503460f949dbaee/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
A bivalent chromosome at the diplotene stage
![Page 13: Meiosis BIO 224 Intro to Molecular and Cell Biology.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062515/56649d095503460f949dbaee/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Prophase I
• Recombination is finished by the end of the pachytene stage, where chromsomes remain linked at the site of crossing over (chiasmata)– Linkage at the chiasmata allows them to align
properly during metaphase• Nucleoli disappear, nuclear membrane
degrades, spindle begins to form as in prophase of mitosis
![Page 14: Meiosis BIO 224 Intro to Molecular and Cell Biology.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062515/56649d095503460f949dbaee/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Stages of the prophase of meiosis I
![Page 15: Meiosis BIO 224 Intro to Molecular and Cell Biology.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062515/56649d095503460f949dbaee/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Metaphase I
• Bivalent chromosomes align on the spindle• Kinetochores of sister chromatids are
adjacent and oriented in the same direction • Kinetochores of homologous chromosomes
are pointed toward opposite spindle poles• Spindle tubules attach to kinetochores and
separate members of homologous pairs– Chromosomes are still linked at chiasmata– Disruption of chiasmata initiates anaphase
![Page 16: Meiosis BIO 224 Intro to Molecular and Cell Biology.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062515/56649d095503460f949dbaee/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Meiosis, metaphase I
![Page 17: Meiosis BIO 224 Intro to Molecular and Cell Biology.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062515/56649d095503460f949dbaee/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Anaphase I
• Homologous chromosomes are separated into daughter cells
• Duplicated sister chromatids remain associated at their centromeres
• Chromosomes migrate to poles of daughter cells, which are now haploid– Major difference in anaphase of mitosis and
anaphase of meiosis
![Page 18: Meiosis BIO 224 Intro to Molecular and Cell Biology.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062515/56649d095503460f949dbaee/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Meiosis, early anaphase I
![Page 19: Meiosis BIO 224 Intro to Molecular and Cell Biology.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062515/56649d095503460f949dbaee/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Chromosome segregation in meiosis I
![Page 20: Meiosis BIO 224 Intro to Molecular and Cell Biology.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062515/56649d095503460f949dbaee/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Telophase I
• Chromosomes reach cell poles• Nuclear membrane begins to reform• Chromosomes may begin to decondense • Daughter cells separate by cytokinesis• No interphase follows this phase• Meiosis II begins after the end of MI
![Page 21: Meiosis BIO 224 Intro to Molecular and Cell Biology.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062515/56649d095503460f949dbaee/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Meiosis, telophase I
![Page 22: Meiosis BIO 224 Intro to Molecular and Cell Biology.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062515/56649d095503460f949dbaee/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Meiosis II
• Resembles stages of mitosis• Prophase II: chromatids condense, nuclear
membrane disappears, spindle forms• Metaphase II: chromosomes align along the
spindle and microtubules from opposite poles attach to kinetochores of sister chromatids
• Anaphase II: sister chromatids separate• Telophase II: chromatids migrate to poles
– Cytokinesis follows, allowing formation of 4 total haploid daughter cells
![Page 23: Meiosis BIO 224 Intro to Molecular and Cell Biology.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062515/56649d095503460f949dbaee/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)

Comparison of meiosis and mitosis
![Page 28: Meiosis BIO 224 Intro to Molecular and Cell Biology.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062515/56649d095503460f949dbaee/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Regulation of Oocyte Meiosis
• Meiosis of vertebrate oocytes is regulated at two points in the cell cycle
• The diplotene stage of MI has the first regulatory point– Oocytes may remain arrested in this stage for
many years, up to 50 in humans• Chromosomes decondense and undergo active
transcription• During this period oocytes grow immensely, and
accumulate proteins and RNA for support of embryonic development
![Page 29: Meiosis BIO 224 Intro to Molecular and Cell Biology.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062515/56649d095503460f949dbaee/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Regulation of Oocyte Meiosis
• Resuming of oocyte meiosis as well as when fertilization occurs varies in different species
• Some animals’ oocytes remain in the diplotene stage until fertilization, then finish meiosis
• Most vertebrates’ oocytes resume meiosis in response to hormonal stimulation and complete meiosis I prior to fertilization
• Meiosis I results in uneven cell division creating one normal ooctye and a small nonfunctional polar body
• The oocyte enters meiosis II without reforming a nucleus or decondensing chromosomes, arresting at metaphase II until fertilization
![Page 30: Meiosis BIO 224 Intro to Molecular and Cell Biology.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062515/56649d095503460f949dbaee/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Meiosis of vertebrate oocytes
![Page 31: Meiosis BIO 224 Intro to Molecular and Cell Biology.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062515/56649d095503460f949dbaee/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Regulation of Oocyte Meiosis
• Cdk1/cyclin B complexes regulate meiosis, just like in M phase of somatic cells
• Cdk1 is also responsible for unique events, regulating MI to MII progression and arresting cells in metaphase II
• Cdk1 is activated by hormones to trigger the resumption of meiosis, then to keep cells in M phase
![Page 32: Meiosis BIO 224 Intro to Molecular and Cell Biology.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062515/56649d095503460f949dbaee/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Activity of Cdk1/cyclin B during oocyte meiosis
![Page 33: Meiosis BIO 224 Intro to Molecular and Cell Biology.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062515/56649d095503460f949dbaee/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Fertilization
• The sperm binds to a receptor on the egg’s surface and fuses with the plasma membrane of the egg– Initiates development of a new diploid organism that
contains genetic information from both parents• Fertilization activates changes in the cytoplasm of
the egg necessary for further development– Changes activate the egg to complete meiosis and initiate
mitotic cell cycles of the early embryo– Levels of intracellular Ca2+ increase in eggs due to binding
of sperm preventing other sperm from entering the egg• This ensures the formation of a normal diploid embryo
– Increased Ca2+ levels signal the end of meiosis
![Page 34: Meiosis BIO 224 Intro to Molecular and Cell Biology.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062515/56649d095503460f949dbaee/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Fertilization
• Following the end of meiosis, the zygote contains two haploid pronuclei, one from each parent
• In mammals, the pronuclei enter S phase and migrate toward each other, then meet as the zygote enters M phase of the first mitotic division
• Nuclear envelopes break down and the chromosomes align on a common spindle before mitosis completes with the production of two diploid cells that will divide further to create a new organism
