Meiosis - Functions Halving the chromosome number - meiosis consists of two nuclear divisions (meiosis I and meiosis II) but the chromosomes replicate once. Producing four daughter cells. Each are haploid Producing Genetic Variety - through prophase I and through random assortment during metaphase I. In

Considering Figure 2-8‚ is the sequence “pairing → replication → segregation → segregation” a good shorthand description of meiosis? Answer: No‚ it should say either: “pairing‚ recombination‚ segregation‚ segregation” or: “replication‚ pairing‚ segregation‚ segregation.” Chapter Two 7 5. Point to all cases of bivalents‚ dyads‚ and tetrads in Figure 2-11. Answer: Replicate

at least 3 million of these cells begin to undergo meiosis‚ where the number of doubled chromosomes is reduced in half by dividing the cell over and over again. In order for the first phase of Meiosis to begin‚ the cell must become a primary spermatocyte. After this has occurred‚ the diploid cell‚ which has 46 chromosomes‚ split into two haploid secondary spermatocytes‚ each containing only 23 chromosomes. In the next phase of Meiosis‚ Meiosis II‚ the two cells split‚ again‚ forming four cells

many oogonia as well as primary oocytes become atretic • By the 7th month‚ the majority of oogonia have degenerated except for a few near the surface Note: No oogonia are present at birth • All surviving primary oocytes have entered prophase of meiosis I‚ and most of them are individually surrounded by a single layer of flattened‚ follicular epithelial cells • The primary oocytes enclosed by this layer of cells constitutes a primordial follicle • Primary oocytes begin the first meiotic division

MITOSIS The Stages of Mitosis Mitosis is simply described as having four stages—prophase‚ metaphase‚ anaphase‚ and telophase; the steps follow one another without interruption. The entire four-stage division process averages about one hour in duration‚ and the period between cell divisions‚ called interphase or interkinesis‚ varies greatly but is considerably longer. During INTERPHASE the chromosomes are dispersed in the nucleus and appear as a network of long‚ thin threads or filaments‚ called the

This reduction of chromosome number occurs in two distinct sequential phases of meiosis‚ termed meiosis I and meiosis II. Both divisional sequences have sub-stages such as‚ prophase (I‚ II)‚ prometaphase (I‚ II)‚ metaphase (I‚ II)‚ anaphase (I‚ II)‚ and telophase (I‚ II) that is continued by cytokinesis (I‚ II)‚ which is not part of meiosis. The cell undergoes different changes and transformations before and during meiosis‚ such as replication and condensation of chromosomes‚ duplication of centrosome

*Anaphase *Telophase 3.Cytokinesis (This is a seperate process that begins at the same time as telophase) Different Stages in the Process of Meiosis There are two stages of meiosis‚ namely‚ meiosis I and meiosis II. The parent cell or the dividing cell undergoes a preparatory phase‚ known as interphase‚ before entering the two stages of meiosis. In the interphase‚ the parent cell synthesizes more DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) andproteins‚ increasing the overall size and mass of the cell. As

Mitosis & Meiosis/ Human Development The Cell Cycle Stages of the Cell Cycle: G1 – cell growth S – DNA replication and continued cell growth G2 – Final preparations for division and continued cell growth M – Mitosis or cellular replication Some Important Terms for Replication: Chromosome – rod-shaped body in the nucleus that is only visible during replication that contains DNA and is our hereditary unit. Nucleolus – organelle inside the nucleus composed of RNA for ribosome formation.
