Meiosis
Nestor T. Hilvano, M.D., M.P.H.(Images Copyright Discover Biology, 5th ed., Singh-Cundy and Cain,
Textbook, 2012.)
Learning Objectives 1. Distinguish between autosomes and sex
chromosomes; somatic cells and gametes; diploid cells and haploid cells.
2. Define and describe the events of meiosis.
3. Describe key differences between mitosis and meiosis.
4. Define karyotyping and give its importance.
5. Describe the causes and symptoms of Down Syndrome
Inheritance of Genes • ___ is the scientific study of heredity and variation• ___ is the transmission of traits from one generation
to the next• ___ are the units of heredity, and are made up of
segments of DNAa. Heredity b. Genes c. Genetics d. Genomes
• Genes are passed to the next generation through reproductive cells called gametes (sperm and eggs)
• Each gene has a specific location called a locus on a certain chromosome
• Most DNA is packaged into chromosomes• One set of chromosomes is inherited from each
parent
Terminologies • Somatic cells – body cells; in human have 23
pairs of chromosomes (diploid chromosomes) (2n) (2 sets)
• Homologous chromosomes – pair (2 sets) of chromosomes that carry genes.
• Gametes – have 23 chromosomes (haploid) (1n) (1 set); 22 autosomes +X or 22 autosomes + Y
• The sex chromosomes are called X and Y• Human females have a homologous pair of X
chromosomes (XX)• Human males have one X and one Y chromosome (XY)• The 22 pairs of chromosomes that do not determine sex
are called autosomes• Sexual life cycles involve the alternation of haploid and
diploid stages• The fusion of haploid gametes in the process of
fertilization results in the formation of a diploid (2n) zygote (fertilized egg= new child)

Meiosis • Reduces the chromosome number from diploid
to haploid. • But divide twice to form 4 daughter cells (haploid
= gametes).• Cross-over= homologous chromosomes swap to
increase genetic diversity• Consists of:
Meiosis I – homologous chromosomes separate, results in 2 haploid daughter cells with replicated chromosomes
Meiosis II – sister chromatids separate, results in 4 haploid chromosomes

Meiosis I• Prophase I – chromatin coils up; homologous
pairing (tetrad; with 4 chromatids); crossing over; nucleoli disappear; nuclear envelop breaks; spindle forming
• Metaphase I – chromosomes tetrads aligned on the metaphase plate
• Anaphase I – migration of chromosomes toward the 2 poles; sister chromatids remain attached
• Telophase I and cytokinesis – 2 haploid chromosome; cleavage furrow
Meiosis II
• Prophase II – spindle forms and moves chromosomes toward the middle of cell.
• Metaphase II – chromosomes are aligned on the metaphase plate
• Anaphase II – sister chromatids separate
• Telophase II and cytokinesis – nuclei form; cytokinesis occur; 4 haploid daughter cells (single chromosome)
Comparison between mitosis and meiosis
• Mitosis – results to 2 daughter cells, each with the same chromosomes as the parent cell.
• Meiosis – results to 4 daughter cells, each with half the number of chromosomes as the parent cell.

MEIOSIS II
Genetic variations could be due to:
• Random orientation of homologous chromosome pairs at metaphase of meiosis I
• Crossing over creates recombinant chromosomes
Karyotype
• Ordered display of chromosomes in which the :
- genetic sex of an individual can be
determined.
- abnormalities in chromosomal
structure and number can be detected.

Homework 1. Define – meiosis, haploid chromosome, diploid
chromosome, gametes, somatic cell, autosomes, sex chromosomes, Down syndrome, karyotype, genetics, heredity, genes
2. Describe the events that characterize each phase of meiosis (I & II)
3. Differentiate mitosis and meiosis as to # of cell division, # of daughter cells, # of chromosomes in daughter cells, genetic relationship of daughter cells to parent cell, and functions performed in the human body.
4. Compare sexual and asexual reproduction.
