    Meiosis is a process of cell division that results in four haploid cells from one diploid cell. It involves two rounds of division called Meiosis I and Meiosis II. In Meiosis I, homologous chromosomes pair up and separate, resulting in two haploid cells. These cells then undergo Meiosis II, where the sister chromatids separate, resulting in four haploid cells total. In males, meiosis produces four sperm cells, while in females it produces one egg cell and three polar bodies. Meiosis ensures genetic variation between parents and offspring.

    Meiosis

    Division of Sex Cells

    Meiosis
    A process of reduction division in which the number of chromosomes per cell is cut in half through the separation of homologous chromosomes in a diploid cell. Diploid 2 sets of chromosomes Haploid 1 set of chromosomes Homologous chromosomes that each have a corresponding chromosome from the opposite sex parent

    Meiosis

    Meiosis Stages
    Meiosis usually involves 2 distinct stages
    Meiosis I Meiosis II

    Prophase I
    Each chromosome pairs with its corresponding homologous chromosome to form a tetrad. There are 4 chromosomes in a tetrad. The pairing of homologous chromosomes is the key to understanding meiosis. Crossing-over may occur here Crossing-over is when chromosomes overlap and exchange portions of their chromatids.

    Prophase I

    Metaphase I
    Spindle fibers attach to the chromosomes

    Metaphase I

    Anaphase I
    The fibers pull the homologous chromosomes toward opposite ends of the cell.

    Anaphase I

    Telophase I & Cytokinesis


    Nuclear membranes form. The cell separates into 2 cells.

    Telophase I

    Prophase II
    Meiosis I results in two haploid (N) cells. Each cell has half the number of chromosomes as the original cell.

    Prophase II

    Metaphase II
    The chromosomes line up similar to metaphase in mitosis.

    Metaphase II

    Anaphase II
    Sister chromatids separate and move to opposite ends of the cell.

    Anaphase II

    Telophase II
    Meiosis II results in 4 haploid cells.

    Telophase II

    Gamete Formation
    In males, meiosis results in 4 sperm cells In females, meiosis results in 1 egg cell and three polar bodies, which are not used in reproduction.
