Meiosis is the separation of a diploid cell in which results in the production of four haploid daughter cells containing half the number of chromosomes that were found in the parent cells. For example‚ the starting number of chromosomes is 46‚ which are paired into groups of two making 23 pairs of chromosomes. The process of meiosis is broken down into two courses: meiosis I and meiosis II. Before the stage of meiosis‚ a cell must undergo a phase described as interphase. Interphase consists of three

INTRODUCTION I. Have you ever wondered how the process of sexual reproduction begins in multi-cellular organisms such as ourselves? II. It all begins through a cell division process known as meiosis. III. I am currently a biology major at CSU-Pueblo looking to pursue a degree in wildlife biology. IV. During the process of meiosis‚ diploid cells split in half‚ forming four haploid cells‚ which each have a single set of chromosomes. These cells are called either gametes or sex cells. Female gametes

Crossing over- The two chromosomes making up a homolog pair are not genetically identical because homologs are inherited from different parents. When the chromosomes synapse during prophase 1‚ each gene in each chromosome is brought into contact with the same gene on that chromosome’s homolog. During this process of synapses the two chromosomes of each homolog pair exchange segments of DNA in a process called crossing over. The gene combinations on a chromosome can be changed. For example‚ suppose

Interphase: DNA replicates ( S-phase) Prophase: Nucleolus fades and chromatin (replicated DNA and associated proteins) condenses into chromosomes. Each replicated chromosome comprises two chromatids‚ both with the same genetic information. Microtubules of the cytoskeleton‚ responsible for cell shape‚ motility and attachment to other cells during interphase‚ disassemble Pro Metaphase: - nuclear envelope breaks down- no longer a recognizable nucleus. Mitotic spindle fibers elongate from the centrosomes

10.1.3 CROSSING OVER Outline the process of crossing over in : Meiosis 1: • Prophase I - homologous chromosomes are paired up tightly into tetrads‚ then crossing over‚ the exchange of genetic material between the DNA in these tetrads occurs‚ forming a chiasmata‚ an x-shaped structure. • Metaphase I - paired chromosomes line up along the equator of a cell‚ the metaphase plate as the spindle microtubulue apparatus pulls them. • Anaphase I - The spindle microtubules pull homologous chromosomes

Millions and millions of cells must be formed in order for an organism (whether a plant or animal) to be created. That becomes possible through cell division. Cell division happens when all of the DNA of a cell is replicated completely and then that complete replication (called a genome) is separated‚ breaking apart into two daughter cells that are identical to the original cell (Erster 3-4). There are different kinds of division depending on the type of cell involved (Erster 25). However‚ regardless
