Study Notes
Meiosis Overview
- Meiosis consists of two stages: meiosis I and meiosis II.
- Meiosis I separates homologous chromosomes; it is crucial for reducing chromosome number.
- Meiosis II separates sister chromatids, leading to the final haploid cells.
Cells at the End of Meiosis I
- Cells resulting from meiosis I are haploid, containing one set of chromosomes.
- Each cell has one of the homologous pairs, now separated into different cells.
Outcome of Meiosis II
- The end result of meiosis II is four haploid cells, which can develop into gametes.
Nondisjunction Events
- Nondisjunction during meiosis I results in two cells with an extra chromosome and two cells missing one chromosome.
- Nondisjunction in meiosis I produces one cell with an extra homologous chromosome and one cell missing a homologous chromosome.
Consequences of Nondisjunction
- When nondisjunction occurs during meiosis II, the cells at the end of meiosis I remain haploid and the homologous pairs are separated into different cells.
Nondisjunction Phases
- Nondisjunction can occur in either anaphase I or anaphase II of meiosis, impacting chromosomal distribution to daughter cells.
