Presentation Transcript

1. Meiosis Vocabulary and Notes

2. What looks similar between mitosis and meiosis? What looks different? Prophase Interphase Mitosis Cytokinesis Telophase Metaphase Anaphase Meiosis

3. Vocabulary- Meiosis Process of reduction division in which the number of chromosomes per cell is cut in half through the separation of homologous chromosomes in a diploid cell.

4. Vocabulary- Homologous a pair of chromosomes, one from each parent, which carry genes for the same traits.

5. Vocabulary- Diploid term used to refer to a cell that contains both sets of homologous chromosomes.

6. Vocabulary- Haploid term used to refer to a cell that contains only a single set of genes.

7. Check for Understanding A diploid cell has __________ number of chromosomes.

8. Check for Understanding A haploid cell has __________ number of chromosomes.

9. Vocabulary- Crossing Over process in which homologous chromosomes exchange portions of their chromatins during meiosis.

12. Check for Understanding How many Chromosomes do you get from your mom?

13. 2. Phases of Meiosis a) Meiosis: cell division where the chromosome number is cut in half by separating homologous chromosomes in a diploid cell b) There are two stages: Meiosis I and Meiosis II
