CHAPTER 8
Modules 8.12 – 8.18
8.12 Chromosomes are matched in homologous pairs
Somatic cells of each species contain a specific number of
chromosomes
Human cells have 46, making up 23 pairs of homologous
chromosomes
MEIOSIS AND CROSSING OVER
8.13 Gametes have a single set of chromosomes
Cells with two sets of chromosomes are said to be diploid
Gametes are haploid, with only one set of chromosomes

At fertilization, a sperm fuses with an egg, forming a diploid
zygote
Repeated mitotic divisions lead to the development of a mature
adult
The adult makes haploid gametes by meiosis
All of these processes make up the sexual life cycle of
organisms

The human life cycle
8.14 Meiosis reduces the chromosome number from diploid to
haploid
Meiosis, like mitosis, is preceded by chromosome duplication
However, in meiosis the cell divides twice to form four daughter
cells

In the first division, meiosis I, homologous chromosomes are
paired
While they are paired, they cross over and exchange genetic
information
The homologous pairs are then separated, and two daughter cells are
produced

INTERPHASE
Meiosis II is essentially the same as mitosis
The sister chromatids of each chromosome separate
The result is four haploid daughter cells

8.15 Review: A comparison of mitosis and meiosis
For both processes, chromosomes replicate only once, during
interphase

MEIOSIS II
8.16 Independent orientation of chromosomes in meiosis and random
fertilization lead to varied offspring
Each chromosome of a homologous pair comes from a different
parent
Each chromosome thus differs at many points from the other member
of the pair
Copyright © 2003 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin
Cummings
The large number of possible arrangements of chromosome pairs at
metaphase I of meiosis leads to many different combinations of
chromosomes in gametes
Random fertilization also increases variation in offspring

Metaphase II
8.17 Homologous chromosomes carry different versions of genes
The differences between homologous chromosomes are based on the
fact that they can carry different versions of a gene at
corresponding loci

8.18 Crossing over further increases genetic variability
Crossing over is the exchange of corresponding segments between two
homologous chromosomes
Genetic recombination results from crossing
over during prophase I of meiosis
This increases variation further
