Okay, here is the conversion of the given text and images into a structured markdown format. ### Meiosis Notes Meiosis differs from mitosis in a few key ways: 1. ... 2. ... Meiosis begins in special cells called \_\_\_\_\_\_\_. These are located in the \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ in males and the \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ in females. These cells are \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ meaning, they have the complete number of chromosomes. During Interphase, the DNA replicates and the cell prepares for Meiosis. Meiosis can be divided into 2 parts: Meiosis I and Meiosis II. ### Meiosis I **Prophase I** - During prophase I, the nucleus and nucleolus break down. The chromosomes thicken and become visible. The \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ chromosomes pair up forming a \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ and the process of \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ over occurs. During this process, \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ jump from one chromosome to the other. **Metaphase I** - The spindle fibers pull the \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ to the middle of the cell. **Anaphase I** - The \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ chromosomes are pulled apart. **Telophase I** -The chromosomes reach the poles, nuclei reform, and the cell \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ forming 2 \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ cells. (meaning half the number of chromosomes). At this point, the cells enter what is called \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_. This looks like interphase, except DNA replication does not occur again. ### Meiosis II **Prophase II** - Nucleus and nucleolus breakdown, chromosomes become visible. **Metaphase II** - Chromosomes are pulled to the middle. **Anaphase II** - The \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ separate. **Telophase II** - The chromosomes reach the poles, nuclei reform, and cells divide to form \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ cells. Because the overall number of chromosomes is reduced, meiosis is known as \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ ### How is meiosis different in males compared to females? **Spermatogenesis** - This is the term for meiosis in \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_. This occurs in the \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_. It starts at \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ and continues until \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_. In the end, \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_cells are produced. **Oogenesis** - This is the term for meiosis in \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_. This occurs in the \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_. It starts \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ but pauses at prophase I. This resumes at puberty where one cell is released per month (correlates with menstrual cycle). This process continues until \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_. In the end, only \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ cell is produced along with 3\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_. The 1 viable egg is called a \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_. The 3 non-viable cells are called \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_. During \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ (the fusion of 2 haploid gametes), a \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_is formed.
