Document Summary

Males: produce 4 haploid sperm cells from one sex cell precursor. Females: produce 1 large egg and 3 polar bodies which reduce its chromosomal content. Diploid offspring production gametes due to two successive rounds of meiotic division of varying gametes one set of unique chromosomes. Condensation & synapsis chromosomes of the parent cell chromosomes, holding them together during synapsis. Homologous chromosomes: individual chromosomes that may contain different alleles of the same gene, which have been inherited from each parent. Metaphase i: homologous chromosome bivalents become randomly arranged at the metaphase plate by the microtubules of the spindle apparatus. Anaphase i: synaptonemal complex breaks down, allowing for the separation of the homologues making up each bivalent to opposite cellular poles. Homologous chromosomes separate, while sister chromatids do not. Prohase ii in each individual parental cell condense. Metaphase ii: genetically identical chromosomes (composed of two sister chromatids) are positioned at the metaphase plate.

cells., b. meiosis is used for growth and repair, while mitosis isused for production of eggs and sperm., c.

Title: Meiosis Lab

Part 1: Modeling Meiosis Without Crossing Over (reformat as needed)

Take photos of the following stages of your meiosis bead simulation. Insert and label the following images:

Meiosis 1: Prophase I and Metaphase I

Meiosis 2: Metaphase II and Telophase II

Part 2: Modeling Meiosis With Crossing Over (reformat as needed)

Take photos of the following stages of your meiosis bead simulation. Insert and label the following images:

Meiosis with Crossing Over: Metaphase I and Telophase II

Questions â use the lab Introduction, your textbook and other sources to answer the following.

What is the state of DNA at the end of meiosis I? Are the chromosomes replicated or unreplicated? Diploid or haploid?

Why are chromosomes important?

How are Meiosis I and Meiosis II different?

Name two ways meiosis contribute to genetic recombination or genetic variety.

Why do you use non-sister chromatids to demonstrate crossing over? What would happen if you crossed over sister chromatids?

How many chromosomes were present in your simulation when meiosis I started?

Why is it necessary to reduce the chromosome number in gametes, but not in other cells of an organism?

If humans have 46 chromosomes in each of their body cells, determine how many chromosomes you would expect to find in the following:

Sperm	Egg	Daughter cell after mitosis	Daughter cell after meiosis

Investigate a disease that is caused by a chromosomal mutation due to nondisjunction. When does the mutation occur? What chromosome is affected? What are the consequences?
