Q

What are the functions of meiosis?

A

(1) keeps the number of chromosomes in a body cell constant from generation to generation
(2) increases genetic variability in the population

Q

The steps of Meiosis I:

(1)
(2) the separation of homologous chromosomes occurs reliably
(3) members of homologous pairs line up next to one another by a phenomenon called synapsis
(4) interkinesis
(5) homologous chromosomes separate into two haploid cells, each containing one member of each homologous pair

A

produces two cells, each with 23 chromosomes

Q

What is interkinesis?

A

a brief interphase like period

17
Q

What occurs during Meiosis II?

A

sister chromatids separate, and four haploid daughter cells are formed that may develop into gametes

18
Q

What happens for males during Meiosis II?

A

in males, one diploid cell can result in four functional sperm

19
Q

What happens for females during Meiosis II?

A

in females, meiotic divisions of one diploid cell result in only one functional egg and up to three nonfunctional cells called polar bodies
