Meiosis:

In animals, meiosis takes place in specific cells called meiocytes.

The oocytes form egg cells and the spermatocytes form sperm cells.

Oocytes and spermatocytes are called germ cells or gametes

In the females of both animals and plants, only one of the four products develops into a

functional cell (the other three which disintegrate are referred to as polar bodies).

Meiosis is a mode of cell division in which cells are created that contain only one

member of each pair of chromosomes

Meiosis consists of two successive nuclear divisions

Meiosis results in four daughter cells, each genetically different and each containing

one haploid set of chromosomes

Meiosis is a more complex and considerably longer process than mitosis and usually

requires days or even weeks



Sexual life cycle:

Made up of meiosis and fertilization

Diploid cells

& Somatic cells of adults have 2 sets of chromosomes

Haploid cells

& Gametes have only 1 set of chromosomes

Offspring inherit genetic material from 2 parents

Meiosis – important terms

Synapsis

Homologues pair along their length.

Homologous recombination

Genetic exchange (crossing over) occurs between

homologous chromosomes.

Document Summary

In animals, meiosis takes place in specific cells called meiocytes. The oocytes form egg cells and the spermatocytes form sperm cells. Oocytes and spermatocytes are called germ cells or gametes. In the females of both animals and plants, only one of the four products develops into a functional cell (the other three which disintegrate are referred to as polar bodies). Meiosis is a mode of cell division in which cells are created that contain only one member of each pair of chromosomes. Meiosis consists of two successive nuclear divisions. Meiosis results in four daughter cells, each genetically different and each containing one haploid set of chromosomes. Meiosis is a more complex and considerably longer process than mitosis and usually requires days or even weeks. Somatic cells of adults have 2 sets of chromosomes. Gametes have only 1 set of chromosomes. Offspring inherit genetic material from 2 parents. Genetic exchange (crossing over) occurs between homologous chromosomes.

involves one cell division, while mitosis involves two celldivisions., e. meiosis results in the production of
diploid cells, while mitosis results in the production of haploidcells.
