Document Summary

Chapter 27 part 4 | meiosis i & meiosis ii. Most body cells have 46 chromosomes - diploid chromosomal number (2n) One maternal, one paternal homologous chromosomes. Gametes have 23 chromosomes - haploid chromosomal number (n) Two consecutive cell divisions (meiosis i and ii); only one round of dna replication. Number of chromosomes halved (from 2nto n) Random alignment of homologous pairs in meiosis i variability of gametes. ~ all different from original mother cells. Figure 27. 6 comparison of mitosis and meiosis in a mother cell with a diploid number (2n) of 4. Reduction division of meiosis reduces chromosome number from 2n n. Prophase i events not in mitosis or meiosis ii. Synapsis- homologous chromosomes pair forming tetrads of four chromatids. Crossover (chiasmata) exchange of genetic material between male and female chromatid unique chromosomes. End of meiosis i each daughter cell. Two copies of one member of each homologous pair (either maternal or paternal); none of the other.
