Genetic Variation in Meiosis
Learning Outcomes Understand how meiosis contributes to genetic diversity The gametes produced in meiosis aren’t genetically identical to the starting cell, and they also aren’t identical to one another. As an example, consider the meiosis II diagram below, which shows the end products of meiosis for a simple cell with a diploid number of 2n Read more »
Mitosis, Meiosis, and Sexual Reproduction
Learning Outcomes Understand how mitosis, meiosis, and random fertilization all result in genetically unique individuals As you now know, genetic variation is very important. Genetic variation is introduced in multiple ways, including changes in mitosis, crossing over and random orientation in meiosis, and random fertilization. The video below offers you a nice overview of how Read more »
Meiosis I
Learning Outcomes Describe the steps of meiosis I Meiosis is preceded by an interphase consisting of the G1, S, and G2 phases, which are nearly identical to the phases preceding mitosis. The G1 phase, which is also called the first gap phase, is the first phase of the interphase and is focused on cell growth. Read more »
Meiosis II
Learning Outcomes Describe the steps of meiosis II In some species, cells enter a brief interphase, or interkinesis, before entering meiosis II. Interkinesis lacks an S phase, so chromosomes are not duplicated. The two cells produced in meiosis I go through the events of meiosis II in synchrony. During meiosis II, the sister chromatids within the Read more »
Stages of Meiosis
Learning Outcomes Identify the stages of meiosis The ability to reproduce in kind is a basic characteristic of all living things. In kind means that the offspring of any organism closely resemble their parent or parents. Hippopotamuses give birth to hippopotamus calves, Joshua trees produce seeds from which Joshua tree seedlings emerge, and adult flamingos Read more »
