Document Summary

Lecture1: diploid: (2n)a condition in which each chromosome exists in pairs; having two of each chromosome called homologous chromosomes. Haploid: (n) a cell or an organism having one member of each pair of homologous chromosomes. Also referred to as the gametic chromosome number. Meiosis: (to halve the ploidy for gametes)the process of cell division in gametogenesis or sporogenesis during which the diploid number of chromosomes is reduced to the haploid number. Cells produced by meiosis receive only one chromsomes from each chromosomes pair, in which case the resulting number of chrosmosomes is called the haploid number. Stages of meiosis: in meiosis one, homologous chromosomes (1 strand) come together and join by cohesins (into 2 strands), which then duplicate to form tetrads (4 chromatid groups). At this point crossing over occurs, chromosomes are held together against tension. At the end of stage 1, n = half.
