Study Notes
Meiosis in Males and Females
- The result of meiosis in males is four haploid sperm cells.
- The result of meiosis in females is one haploid egg cell.
Meiosis Stages
- Tetrads form during prophase I of meiosis.
Chromosome Number
- The symbol for diploid is 2n.
Cell Division
- The main purpose of mitosis is to produce two daughter cells that are genetically identical to the parent cell.
Crossing Over
- During crossing over in meiosis, segments of chromosomes break off and exchange with other non-sister chromatids, increasing genetic variation.
