The humanbody contains100 trillioncells.
There is anucleus insideeach humancell (except redblood cells).
Each nucleuscontains 46chromosomes,arranged in 23 pairs.
Onechromosomeof every pair isfrom eachparent.
Thechromosomesare filled withtightly coiledstrands ofDNA.
Genes are segmentsof DNA that containinstructions to makeproteins— thebuilding blocksof life.

Fertilization occurs when the nucleus of a male reproductive cell combines with the nucleus of a female reproductive cell
The reproductive cells are called GAMETES
In animals, the male gamete is the SPERM cell and the female gamete is the OVUM
When the male and female gametes combine, the resulting cell is called a ZYGOTE

Meiosis reduces the number of chromosome sets from diploid to haploid.
![Page 9: MEIOSIS](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022061118/5461a234af79592a408b5374/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
STAGES OF MEIOSIS
![Page 10: MEIOSIS](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022061118/5461a234af79592a408b5374/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
•Meiosis is preceded by the replication of chromosomes.
•Meiosis takes place in two sets of cell divisions, called meiosis I and meiosis II
•One replication followed by the two cell divisions result in four daughter cells.
•Each daughter cell has only half as many chromosomes as the parent cell.
![Page 11: MEIOSIS](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022061118/5461a234af79592a408b5374/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)

• In the first cell division (meiosis I), homologous chromosomes (each with two sister chromatids) separate from each other and go to daughter cells
• In the second cell division (meiosis II), sister chromatids separate.
• Each division has prophase, metaphase anaphase and telophase. The interphase between Meiosis I and II is usually very short or even nonexistent.

•Meiosis I is preceded by interphase, in which chromosomes are replicated to form sister chromatids
•The sister chromatids are genetically identical and joined at the centromere
•The single centrosome replicates, forming two centrosomes.
![Page 15: MEIOSIS](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022061118/5461a234af79592a408b5374/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Prophase I
• Occupies more than 90% of the time required for meiosis
• Chromosomes begin to condense
• In synapsis, homologous chromosomes loosely pair up, aligned gene by gene
![Page 16: MEIOSIS](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022061118/5461a234af79592a408b5374/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
• Each pair of chromosomes forms a tetrad, a group of four chromatids joined together
• In crossing over or recombination , nonsister chromatids exchange DNA segments
• Each tetrad usually has one or more chiasmata, X-shaped regions where crossing over occurred
•Crossing over allows exchange of genetic information between homologous chromosomes
![Page 17: MEIOSIS](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022061118/5461a234af79592a408b5374/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)

Metaphase I
• In metaphase I, tetrads line up at the metaphase plate, with one homologous chromosome facing each pole
•Microtubules attach homologous chromosomes to opposite spindle poles
• The alignment of homologous chromosomes is random. There is a 50:50 chance they will align in any one direction

Anaphase I
• In anaphase I, pairs of homologous chromosomes separate-synapsis is over.
•Spindle fibers pull the tetrads apart towards the opposite side of the cell.
•Cytokinesis begins.
![Page 21: MEIOSIS](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022061118/5461a234af79592a408b5374/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Telophase I• In the beginning of telophase I, each half of
the cell has a haploid set of chromosomes; each chromosome still consists of two sister chromatids
•Cytokinesis usually occurs simultaneously, forming 2 haploid daughter cells
•There is no S phase between Meiosis I and II
•New nuclear and nucleolus form.

MEIOSIS II
• No chromosomes replication between meiosis I and meiosis II.
• Similar to the events of mitosis.
![Page 26: MEIOSIS](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022061118/5461a234af79592a408b5374/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Prophase II• In prophase II, a spindle apparatus forms• In late prophase II, chromosomes (each still
composed of two chromatids) move toward the metaphase plate
Metaphase II• In metaphase II, the sister chromatids are arranged
at the metaphase plate• Because of crossing over in meiosis I, the two
sister chromatids of each chromosome are no longer genetically identical.

Anaphase II• In anaphase II, the sister chromatids separate• The sister chromatids of each chromosome now
move as two newly individual chromosomes toward opposite poles
Telophase II and Cytokinesis•In telophase II, the chromosomes arrive at opposite poles•Nuclei form, and the chromosomes begin decondensing

Genes for any one characteristicoccupy corresponding positions on homologous chromosomes
But they do not necessarily controlthe characteristic in the same way
For example, one of the gene pairresponsible for eye colour mightdetermine brown eyes and its partner determine blue eyes*
gene for brown eyesgene forblue eyes
gene for curly hair
gene forstraight hair
17Genes
![Page 34: MEIOSIS](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022061118/5461a234af79592a408b5374/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Usually only one of a gene pair will be expressed in anindividual
A person inheriting the gene for brown eyes and the gene for blue eyes will have brown eyes
The gene for brown eyes is said to be dominant tothe gene for blue eyes. The gene for blue eyes is notexpressed in this individual
The gene for blue eyes is said to be recessive to thegene for brown eyes
18
![Page 35: MEIOSIS](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022061118/5461a234af79592a408b5374/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
In the first stage of meiosis, the illustration (slide 10) showed one ‘red’ and one ’blue’ chromosome going to each daughter cell
B
One gamete will receive the gene combination for brown eyes and curly hair. The other will receive the genes for blue eyes and straight hair B
b
C
c
B = gene for brown eyes
b = gene for blue eyesC = gene for curly hairc = gene for straight hair
19Gene combinations
![Page 36: MEIOSIS](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022061118/5461a234af79592a408b5374/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
It is just as likely that both ‘blue’ chromosomeswill go to one daughter cell and both ‘red’ chromosomes go to the other
B
b
c
C
One gamete will receive thegenes B and c (brown eyes and straight hair)
The other gamete will receive genes b and C (blue eyes andcurly hair)

So, there could be 4 types of gamete with different combinations of the genes
BC brown eyes, curly hair
bc blue eyes, straight hair
Bc brown eyes, straight hair
bC blue eyes, curly hair

Meiosis not only halves the number of chromosomes but can also rearrange the genes
This is one cause of the variations that occur in members of the same species
22Variation

Rearrangement of genes can also take place at fertilization
A sperm may carry a gene for brown eyes (B) or a gene for blue eyes (b)
An ovum may carry a gene for brown eyes (B) or a gene for blue eyes (b)
At fertilization, four possible combinations can occur
