Meiosis
Take C-Notes on the Video and the following 4 slides. Pay particular attention to the steps of meiosis, especially what happens in Prophase 1. Make sure you understand what "Crossing Over" is.

Meiosis
Study this picture. Notice how a cell with four chromosomes turns into four different cells, each containing two chromosomes.
4
Crossing Over
Remember, the steps of Meiosis are similar to the steps to Mitosis. The major differences is that "Crossing Over" of the DNA occurs in Meiosis.
During Prophase 1 and Metaphase 1 of Meiosis, the DNA next to each other can SWITCH chromosomes, making a completely new strand of DNA.
5
Meiosis results in half the original DNA
Each new sperm or egg cell has a different set of DNA, which is why you are different than your siblings.

Multiple Choice
Why do sexually reproducing organisms need meiosis?
To double the number of chromosomes in a new organism
So that gametes have half the number of chromosomes of the organism
So that offspring are identical
So that human sperm and egg cells will each have 46 chromosomes.

Multiple Choice
What process, and which types of cells are represented by the diagram?
Mitosis, somatic cells
Mitosis, gametes
Meiosis, somatic cells
Meiosis, gametes

Multiple Choice
Meiosis makes sperm and egg cells. In humans, sperm and egg cells each have _____ chromosomes. Therefore a fertilized human egg cell (sperm and egg cell combined) would create a cell with _____ chromosomes.

Multiple Choice
This image shows chromosomes during Prophase 1. Which of the following correctly describes the process shown?
segregation of sister chromatids
mutation in which the DNA content of the gene is altered
condensation and segregation of alleles
crossing - over in which alleles are exchanged
