BIOL 11100 Lecture Notes - Lecture 4: Sister Chromatids, Egg Cell, Telophase
Document Summary
Same steps as mitosis, but chromosomes have been through crossing over. End product is four haploid cells, instead of the 2 that result from meiosis i. Disinguished from prophase i by lack of tetrads and from prophase by evidence of crossing over. Disinguished from metaphase ii by lack of tetrads, and from metaphase by evidence of crossing over. Spindle ibers are pulling chromaids apart and toward opposite poles. Disinguished from anaphase i by single chromaid, and from anaphase by evidence of crossing over. At cytokinesis, each daughter cell from meiosis i splits in two. Each new daughter cell is haploid, this ime with no sister chromaids. Each new daughter cell is unique- diferent from the others and from parent cell. Final result of meiosis is 4 haploid cells. Oogenesis: formaion of ova (eggs)- more complicated than spermatogenesis. Every division results in a iny, useless cell called a polar body.
