Meiosis – A Source of Distinction Why do you share some but not all characters of each parent? What are the rules of this sharing game? At one level, the answers lie in MEIOSIS meiosis. Reduction-Division Genetic Recombination 1 Meiosis Meiosis žThe form of cell division by which žSex cells divide to produce GAMETES, with HALF the number of GAMETES (sperm or egg). CHROMOSOMES, are produced. žGametes have HALF the # of žDIPLOID (2n) ® HAPLOID (n) chromosomes. žMeiosis is SEXUAL reproduction. žOccurs only in GONADS (testes or žTWO divisions (MEIOSIS I and MEIOSIS ovaries).

The homologues are separated from each other in anaphase I. žChiasmata (chiasma) are where chromosomes touch each other and exchange genes (crossing over.) žCauses Genetic Recombination 17 18  Genetic Recombination nonsister chromatids Tetrad chiasmata: site variation 19 20 of crossing over Sex Chromosomes MEIOSIS I Meiosis I Homologs separate XX chromosome - female XY chromosome - male 21 22 Prophase I is divided into 5 Prophase I distinctive sub-stages: Nucleus & Nucleolus disappear Leptotene – The chromosomes begin to Spindle forms condense Chromosomes coil & Synapsis (pairing) occurs Zygotene – Synapsis begins with a synaptonemal Tetrads form & Crossing over Occurs complex forming between homologous chromosomes spindle fiber Pachytene – Crossing over of genetic material centrioles occurs between non-sister chromatids aster Diplotene – Synapsis ends with disappearance of fibers synaptonemal complex; homologous pairs remain attached at chiasmata Diakinesis – Chromosomes become fully condensed and nuclear membrane disintegrates prior to metaphase I 23 24 TETRAD  Prometaphase I Metaphase I Attachment of spindle fiber microtubules to Shortest phase the kinetochore proteins at the centromeres Tetrads align on the equator.

The Y Chromosome “Decides” Non-disjunction Non-disjunction is one of the Two major occurrences of Meiosis (The other is Crossing Over) Non-disjunction is the failure of homologous chromosomes, or sister chromatids, to separate during meiosis. Non-disjunction results with the production of zygotes with abnormal chromosome numbers…… remember…. An abnormal chromosome number (abnormal amount of DNA) is damaging to the offspring. Non-disjunctions usually occur in one of two fashions. Common Non-disjunction Disorders The first is called Monosomy, the second is called Trisomy. If an organism Down’s Syndrome – Trisomy 21 has Trisomy 18 it has three Patau Syndrome – Trisomy 13 chromosomes in the 18th set, Trisomy Turner’s Syndrome – Monosomy 23 (X0) 21…. Three chromosomes in the 21st set. Klinefelter’s Syndrome – Trisomy 23 (XXY) If an organism has Monosomy 23 it has only one chromosome in the 23rd set.
