Meiosis vs Mitosis
You DO NOT
have to draw these
pictures on the
1st tab for
Meiosis Introduction
Interphase
Meiosis 1
Meiosis 2
Interphase (2nd tab)
Centrioles
• Stage before prophase I
(no interphase before
prophase II)
• When homologous
Spindle
chromosome overlap its fibers
called crossing over.
Homologous Pairs
(Humans have 23 pairs making
46 total chromosomes)
Prophase I
(3rd tab lower half of page)
• Crossing over happens when parts of the
homologues chromosomes switch places after
overlapping
• Crossing over
increases genetic
diversity
Add this statement to the Prophase 1
page on the 3rd tab
More sibling similarities
Metaphase I (4th tab)
Centrioles
• The centrioles send out
spindle fibers to line up
homologous pairs in the
middle of cell along the
metaphase plate
Spindle
fibers
Draw and label
this picture in your
Homologous Pairs
flipbook
Anaphase I (5th tab upper half)
a Nondisjunction will
occur
• A nondisjunction causes
the gametes to have the
wrong amount of
chromosomes
Telophase I & Cytokinesis
(6th tab) Draw and label
this picture in your
Centrioles
flipbook
• 2n ÷ 2 = n
Do NOT draw this picture in your flipbook
Prophase II (7th tab lower half)
• Each of the Meiosis II
stages are running in
2 cells at the same
time.
Centrioles Spindle
• Similar to Prophase of Chromosomes fibers
Mitosis
• Centrioles attach
spindle fibers to the
chromosomes Draw and label
this picture in your
flipbook
Metaphase II (8th tab)
• Similar to Metaphase
of Mitosis
• Each chromatid is
pulled to the opposite
pole of the cell Draw and label
this picture in your
flipbook
Anaphase II (9th tab upper half)
• If the centrioles do not Centrioles
• A nondisjunction causes
the gametes to have the
wrong amount of
chromosomes
Telophase II & Cytokinesis
(10th tab)
• Telophase II – the
cells creates a
permanent nucleus
around the two Chromatids
haploid chromosome
sets Draw and label
this picture in your
flipbook
• Cytokinesis – the
cells divides into four
haploid daughter cells
Nuclear Membrane
Gamete (Sex Cell) Formation
• In male animals
(including humans),
the haploid gametes
produced by meiosis
are called sperm
Gamete – the haploid “sex” cells (in animals they are sperm and egg cells)
Somatic Cell – all diploid cells (body cells) that are not gametes
Zygote – fertilized egg cell formed form the joining of the gametes (sperm and
egg)
Vocabulary
Centrioles – Organelles in the cell that help to move chromosomes during cell
division
Chromatin – What you call the DNA during Interphase, Very easy to access
the genes for transcription and translation to create proteins
Chromosome – What you call the DNA during the actual cell division stages
(Pro-, Meta-, Ana-, and Telophase).
Condensed/packed DNA for easy movement during cell division
Spindle Fiber – fibers created and used by the centrioles to move the
chromosomes around during the division stages.
Vocabulary
Homologous Chromosomes – the same numbered chromosome that pair up
from mother and father (ex: mom’s chromosome 1 and dad’s chromosome 1)
Fertilization – The process of making a zygote. When egg and sperm cells
fuse and combine their genetic information (DNA)
