CHROMOSOME # Most organisms are diploid and thus want an offspring
that is also diploid
So, each gamete has to be haploid so when they join they create a diploid organism

CHROMOSOME NUMBER
These two sets of chromosomes are homologous.
One chromosome from mom and one chromosome from dad.
11-4 Meiosis
HOMOLOGOUS CHROMOSOMES
• PairPair of chromosomes that contain the same alleles for a trait
• EX: chromosome with eye color allele from mom is homologous to chromosome with eye color allele from dad
Mom Mom (1,3)(1,3)
Dad Dad (2,4)(2,4)

Homologous chromosomes pair up to form a tetrad.Tetrad = 4 sister chromatids
Crossing over occurs

CROSSING OVERWhen homologous chromosomes form tetrads in meiosis I, they exchange portions of their chromatids in a process called crossing over.
Crossing-over produces new combinations of alleles.

NO! It is NO! It is randomrandom

GAMETE FORMATIONIn male animals, meiosis results in four equal-sized gametes called sperm.

GAMETE FORMATIONIn many female animals, only one egg results from meiosis. The other three cells, called polar bodies, are usually not involved in reproduction.

Clone
Same genetic information in parent cell and daughter cell.
Give me another one just like the other one

1n
Daughter cells different from parent cell and from each other.
Daughter cells have ½ the number of chromosomes as somatic cell.
