Egg = 23

Sperm = 23

Egg + Sperm = 46 in them.

If meiosis reduces the chromosome number

in half, how many chromosomes are in

human sex cells?

Page 5: Meiosis is a process that reduces the amount of chromosomes in a cell to half the original amount Why would you want to reduce chromosomes to half? (check.

Haploid (n)– a half set of chromosomes

Diploid (2n) – a full set of chromosomes

Somatic Cells = ALL body cells (blood, skin, etc) except gametes

Gamete

Skin Cell

Egg

Somatic Cell

Sperm

Sex Cell

Haploid or Diploid?

Homologous Chromosomes – chromosomes that have the same

informationEx. Father/Paternal #11 chromosome

Mother/Maternal #11 chromosome

“Partner” up in Prophase 1

Crossing Over is the exchange of genetic material between homologous chromosomes

Crossing Over acts as a source of

genetic variation within a species

Stages of Meiosis•Interphase—1 time ONLY

– Growth and replication of DNA

• PMATC—2 times

– Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, Telophase, Cytokinesis

Page 11: Meiosis is a process that reduces the amount of chromosomes in a cell to half the original amount Why would you want to reduce chromosomes to half? (check.

Diploid Cell—2 copies of each chromosome that replicated during

Interphase

Page 12: Meiosis is a process that reduces the amount of chromosomes in a cell to half the original amount Why would you want to reduce chromosomes to half? (check.

Crossing Over occurred during Prophase 1

Anaphase AWAY

Telophase I/Cytokinesis results in 2 Haploid Cells

Page 15: Meiosis is a process that reduces the amount of chromosomes in a cell to half the original amount Why would you want to reduce chromosomes to half? (check.

Prophase II looks similar to Telophase I, but nuclear envelope is

disappearing again

Anaphase Away—part II

Page 18: Meiosis is a process that reduces the amount of chromosomes in a cell to half the original amount Why would you want to reduce chromosomes to half? (check.

Telophase II and Cytokineses results in 4 HAPLOID sex cells….or gametes….or egg….or

sperm!

Karyotype – a “map” of chromosomes

2 Main Uses:•Determine sex of the baby

•Screen for Chromosomal Abnormalities

Ex. Down Syndrome

22 pair of Autosomes + 1 pair of sex chromosomes =23 Total pairs

XX = Female

XY = Male
