Study Notes
- Gametes are haploid while somatic cells are diploid.
- Meiosis results in reduction division and recombination.
- Reducing the number of chromosomes prevents doubling in every generation.
- Meiosis I involves reduction division and recombination, while Meiosis II forms gametes.
- Prophase I involves unique genetic combinations.
- Metaphase I involves lining up homologous pairs, and Anaphase I causes chromosome separation.
- Meiosis produces four genetically varied gametes.
- Spermatogenesis produces four haploid sperm cells, while oogenesis produces one egg cell with three polar bodies.
- Primary oocytes remain stuck in Prophase I until puberty.
