BIOL 130 Lecture Notes - Lecture 24: Escherichia Coli, Sulfur, Bacteriophage
Document Summary
Review of meiosis i: goes form 1 diploid to 2 haploid cells, meiosis 2 goes through the same process of meiosis 1. Results in 2 more new daughter cells with different dna. Unique events in prophase i increase genetic diversity: pairing of homologous chromosomes, dna breakage and repair in prophase i. Prophase i: breakage in dna, same breakage is tightly regulated and not random. Occur on the place on each sister chromatid. This is where crossing over occurs: chiasmata help align homologous chromosomes in metaphase. Pairing of homologous chromosomes: generate new dna that are different from parents, only changing one of the two sister chromatids. Can either make diploid or haploid cells. If cell is diploid, it will make more diploid. If cell is haploid, it will make haploid. Cannot undergo meiosis in haploid, only diploid. Unique dna in daughter cells from parent: three events are unique to meiosis, and all three occur in meiosis i.
