Homologous chromosomes are pairs of chromosomes inherited from each parent that contain the same genes. Somatic cells in the body are diploid and contain two of each chromosome type, while gametes are haploid containing one of each chromosome type. Meiosis produces gametes through two cell divisions, reducing the chromosome number so gametes are haploid. This ensures offspring receive a full chromosome set from each parent through fertilization. The document describes meiosis, gamete formation, spermatogenesis and oogenesis in humans.

Meiosis
Meiosis is a process where a cell divides twice to produce four haploid cells each with half the genetic material of the original cell. It occurs in the gonads and involves two rounds of division called Meiosis I and Meiosis II. In Meiosis I, homologous chromosomes pair up and may exchange genetic material through crossing over. The pairs then separate into different daughter cells. Meiosis II involves the separation of sister chromatids into four haploid gametes or sex cells. This process contributes to genetic diversity.
Meiosis and reproduction
Meiosis is a type of cell division that produces haploid gametes from a diploid cell for sexual reproduction. It involves two divisions and results in four haploid cells. During meiosis, homologous chromosomes pair and may exchange genetic material through crossing over, and then separate, reducing the chromosome number. This and the independent assortment of chromosomes during gamete formation introduces genetic variation that is important for evolution.
Chromosomes & intro to meiosis 6.1
Meiosis reduces the number of chromosomes in cells from 46 to 23 so that when an egg and sperm fuse during fertilization, the normal number of 46 chromosomes is restored in the resulting zygote. Body cells have 46 chromosomes that come in 23 pairs, while gametes like eggs and sperm only have 23 single chromosomes so that when they join, the child's cells have 46 chromosomes again.
Meiosis learning goal 1
Meiosis is necessary for sexual reproduction in most plants and animals. It results in the production of gametes or sex cells with half the normal number of chromosomes. This ensures that fertility can occur when gametes from two individuals fuse, restoring the full chromosome number. Meiosis involves two rounds of division that separate homologous chromosome pairs and then sister chromatids, resulting in four haploid cells from each original diploid cell.
MEIOSIS
Meiosis has two stages, meiosis I and meiosis II. In meiosis I, homologous chromosomes pair up and exchange genetic material through crossing over. The homologous chromosomes then separate, reducing the chromosome number by half and resulting in two haploid cells. These cells undergo meiosis II without further DNA replication, separating sister chromatids and producing four haploid gametes, each with half the number of chromosomes of the original cell. Accidents during meiosis can result in alterations in chromosome number, such as an extra chromosome 21 causing Down syndrome. Chromosome rearrangements from breakage can also occur and cause genetic disorders or cancer.
Meiosis Notes
Chromosomes contain genes that determine an organism's traits and are passed down from parents to offspring. Meiosis is a type of cell division that produces sex cells like eggs and sperm, which each have half the number of chromosomes as body cells, ensuring offspring do not have twice the normal number when the parents' chromosomes combine during fertilization. Meiosis results in four sex cells with half the chromosomes of the original parent cell to maintain the chromosome number between generations.
Meiosis
Meiosis is the process of cell division that produces gametes, or sex cells, with half the number of chromosomes as normal body cells. This ensures that when a male and female gamete fuse during fertilization, the resulting offspring has the full number of chromosomes. Meiosis occurs in two divisions, first separating the paired chromosomes and then dividing the cells again, resulting in four gamete cells each with a single set of chromosomes. Errors during meiosis where a gamete retains an extra chromosome can lead to genetic disorders if that gamete is involved in fertilization.
Unit 6 Chromosomes And Meiosis
1. Meiosis results in haploid cells through two cell divisions, reducing the chromosome number from diploid to haploid. During the first division, homologous chromosomes separate. The second division separates sister chromatids.
2. Genes encode proteins that produce traits, and can exist in different alleles. Genotypes describe an organism's allele makeup, while phenotypes describe observable traits.
3. Independent assortment of chromosomes and crossing over during meiosis increase genetic diversity by creating new combinations of genes in offspring.

Mitosis & Meiosis
The document discusses meiosis and compares it to mitosis and asexual reproduction. It explains that meiosis involves two cell divisions that result in four haploid daughter cells each with half the number of chromosomes of the original cell, allowing for genetic diversity. In contrast, mitosis results in two identical diploid daughter cells after one cell division, for growth and repair. The key stages and outcomes of meiosis are outlined.
Meiosis
Meiosis involves two cell divisions that result in four haploid cells with half the normal genetic information. It differs from mitosis in that it involves two divisions and results in genetic recombination through crossing over. Meiosis occurs in the formation of egg and sperm cells in humans, taking place in the ovaries and testes respectively.
Chromosomal theory of heredity. Genetics of a sex
Chromosomal theory of heredity states that chromosomes, not just traits, are inherited. It was developed in 1902 and linked Mendel's work on genes to chromosome behavior. The key points are: chromosomes contain genes and are inherited in pairs from parents; during meiosis homologous chromosomes separate so gametes receive one of each; fertilization restores chromosome pairs. Later, researchers discovered that some genes are linked if on the same chromosome and can be mapped based on recombination rates. Sex chromosomes also carry traits, with mutations on the X chromosome being sex-linked in many species.

This PowerPoint presentation contains diagrams and explanations of mitosis, meiosis, and meiotic non-disjunction. It discusses the purpose and mechanisms of mitosis and meiosis, including their roles in cell division and genetic variation. Examples of chromosomal abnormalities resulting from meiotic non-disjunction like Down syndrome are provided.
Meiosis Lesson
Meiosis is a type of cell division that produces gametes, such as sperm and egg cells, with half the normal number of chromosomes. It involves two rounds of division called Meiosis I and Meiosis II. In Meiosis I, homologous chromosomes pair up and crossover can occur, generating genetic diversity. The paired chromosomes then separate, reducing the number of chromosomes by half. In Meiosis II, the sister chromatids separate, resulting in four haploid cells each containing a single set of chromosomes. This ensures fertilization restores the diploid number. Errors in meiosis can result in conditions like Down syndrome due to an extra chromosome 21.
Cell division
Human cells contain either 46 chromosomes (somatic cells) or 23 chromosomes (gamete cells). Somatic cells are formed through mitosis and contain homologous chromosome pairs, while gamete cells are formed through meiosis which reduces the number of chromosomes by half. Meiosis involves the production of haploid gametes through nuclear division from a parent cell containing 46 chromosomes.
Meiosis and Sexual Reproduction
A second type of cell division called meiosis takes place in multicellular eukaryotes. This is a reduction division in which the daughter cells receive exactly half the number of chromosomes of the mother cells.
Meiosis occurs in the production of gametes—the sperm of the males and the eggs of the females. When a sperm fertilizes an egg, a zygote is produced with the appropriate number of chromosomes for the species—in humans (and potatoes) the zygote and the somatic (body) cells produced from it have 46 chromosomes. This is the diploid (2n) number of chromosomes, half of which have come from the sperm nucleus, half from the egg. The sperm and egg are haploid ( n); they carry half the number of chromosomes of the body cells (in humans, 23 in each sperm and egg). Meiosis thus makes it possible to maintain a constant number of chromosomes in a species that reproduces sexually by halving the number of chromosomes in the reproductive cells. Meiosis uses many of the same mechanisms as mitosis and is assumed to have been derived from mitosis after the latter procedures were in place in some early organisms millenia ago.
Figure 1 shows the stages of mitosis, and Figure 2 shows the stages of meiosis. Note that the names for the stages are the same as those of mitosis, with the addition of a numeral to designate either the first or the second divisional stage. Both divisions are part of meiosis; not until the final four daughter cells are produced is the process complete.
Synapsis in Prophase I is a decisive interval in determining the inheritance of the daughter cells. At this time, genetic recombination can occur; that is, daughter cells may receive combined traits of their two parents rather than simply the trait from one or the other. This is possible because the phenomenon called crossing over often occurs when the chromatids lie together—segments containing similar alleles break apart and rejoin to the corresponding segment of the opposite chromatid, thus mixing the traits from individual parents.
11 04 09 Notes
The document summarizes asexual reproduction, the human reproductive life cycle, and an overview of meiosis. It notes that asexual reproduction results in genetically identical daughter cells, while meiosis produces haploid gametes through two divisions resulting in four genetically unique daughter cells from one parent cell.
Meiosis
Meiosis is a type of cell division that produces gametes, such as sperm and egg cells, from diploid body cells for sexual reproduction. It involves two divisions called Meiosis I and Meiosis II. In Meiosis I, homologous chromosome pairs align and separate, reducing the number of chromosomes by half. Meiosis II then separates the sister chromatids, resulting in four haploid daughter cells each with half the number of chromosomes of the original cell. This ensures genetic variation between offspring and prevents the chromosome number from doubling with each generation.
Meiosis (w/ Mitosis review)
Mitosis and meiosis are cell division processes. Mitosis produces two daughter cells identical to the parent cell and is involved in growth and repair. Meiosis produces gametes for sexual reproduction and results in four cells each with half the number of chromosomes, increasing genetic diversity. The stages of cell division are interphase, prophase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase, and cytokinesis.
Meiosis powerpoint
Meiosis is the process of cell division that produces gametes (sex cells) like sperm and eggs, which have half the number of chromosomes as regular body cells. During meiosis, homologous chromosomes pair up and may exchange sections through crossing over, introducing genetic variation. This results in four daughter cells from two divisions for males and one viable egg cell for females. Meiosis reduces the chromosome number so fertilization restores the diploid number, maintaining genetic diversity between generations.
Bio 100 Chapter 8 part 2
The document summarizes key aspects of meiosis and how it relates to genetic variation and inheritance. It discusses how meiosis reduces the chromosome number through two nuclear divisions, resulting in four haploid cells. This allows for genetic variation through independent assortment and crossing over. Chromosome number and structural anomalies can occur through nondisjunction during meiosis and be inherited, resulting in conditions like Down syndrome, Turner syndrome, and Klinefelter syndrome. Overall, meiosis introduces genetic variation important for evolution through sexual reproduction.
5.2 meiosis
The document summarizes the process of meiosis. Meiosis produces haploid gametes through two nuclear divisions, resulting in four genetically distinct daughter cells each with half the number of chromosomes. This ensures genetic variation and maintains the diploid number of chromosomes from one generation to the next. The stages of meiosis I and meiosis II are described, including how homologous chromosomes separate and sister chromatids are distributed into four daughter cells.
sex determination
Sex determination is the process by which an organism develops as male or female. It can be identified by morphological, anatomical and physiological characteristics. Historically it was determined based on primary and secondary sex characteristics, but scientific study began after the discovery of sex chromosomes in 1902. There are two main theories of sex determination - genetic theories involving sex chromosomes and physiological theories related to metabolic differences. In most species, including humans, the presence of two X chromosomes determines female development while one X and one Y chromosome determines male development.
Meiosis
Meiosis is the process that produces gametes like sperm and egg cells with half the number of chromosomes as regular body cells. It occurs in the testes and ovaries and involves two rounds of cell division called Meiosis I and Meiosis II. This reduces the chromosome number from 46 to 23 so fertilization can restore the full chromosome number of 46. Meiosis increases genetic variation through independent assortment of chromosomes and crossing over, which shuffles genes on chromosomes.
Cell division
Cell division, also known as mitosis, produces two daughter cells that are genetically identical to the parent cell. It occurs through mitosis and is the process by which somatic cells replicate, as well as for tissue growth and repair. Meiosis produces gametes, or sex cells, which have half the number of chromosomes and undergo fusion during fertilization to form a single cell with a full chromosome count.

Sex Determination in Humans
Chromosomal theory best explains human sex determination. Females are XX and produce X-bearing eggs, making them homogametic. Males are XY and produce both X- and Y-bearing sperm, making them heterogametic. The presence of a Y chromosome results in male development due to Y-linked genes, while its absence results in female development. Other factors like genetic balance and hormones can influence sex development but not determination.

Meiosis vs mitosis
Meiosis and mitosis are two types of cell division. Mitosis involves one cell dividing into two identical daughter cells and is used for growth and repair of tissues. Meiosis involves a cell dividing twice to produce four haploid cells each with half the number of chromosomes, and is used for sexual reproduction to create egg and sperm cells. The key differences are that meiosis reduces the chromosome number, allows for genetic mixing, and produces gametes while mitosis replicates somatic cells with identical chromosomes.
Meiosis
Meiosis creates sex cells such as eggs and sperm. It results in 4 haploid cells that each have a single set of chromosomes. Meiosis involves two divisions, Meiosis I and Meiosis II, which separates the homologous chromosomes and then the sister chromatids. This leads to genetic variation between the resulting gametes and allows for genetic recombination during crossing over. Nondisjunction during meiosis can result in conditions like Down syndrome if an extra chromosome is present (trisomy 21) or Turner syndrome if a female is missing an X chromosome (monosomy X).
Gametogenesis
Gametogenesis is the process by which haploid gametes are formed through meiosis and differentiation of diploid or haploid cells. It occurs in the gonads through meiosis of diploid germ cells or mitosis of haploid germ cells. This results in various gametes. Spermatogenesis and oogenesis are the specific processes for male and female gamete formation, respectively, which both start from diploid germ cells and end with haploid gametes through meiosis.
Lesson-4-Meiosis-and-Human-Life-Cycle.pptx
The human life cycle involves both mitosis and meiosis. Mitosis occurs during development and tissue repair, producing genetically identical cells. Meiosis occurs during sexual reproduction and reduces the chromosome number from diploid to haploid, generating genetically diverse gametes through independent assortment and crossing over. Fertilization of an egg and sperm fuses their haploid cells to form a diploid zygote, continuing the life cycle.

The key differences between meiosis and mitosis are summarized in a table. The document thoroughly explains the stages of meiosis I and meiosis II and provides examples of meiosis in human oogenesis and spermatogenesis. It concludes by stating that meiosis is essential for sexual reproduction and genetic variability.

Meiosis and mitosis are compared. Meiosis involves two cell divisions that result in four haploid cells with half the number of chromosomes, while mitosis results in two diploid daughter cells with the same number of chromosomes as the parent cell. Meiosis allows for genetic diversity and chromosomal assortment during gamete formation, and has steps of prophase I, metaphase I, anaphase I, telophase I, prophase II, etc. leading to four haploid cells. Mitosis is for growth and tissue repair resulting in two identical diploid cells through the steps of interphase, prophase, metaphase, anaphase and telophase.

This process, along with independent assortment and crossing over of chromosomes, introduces genetic variation among gametes to promote evolution of populations. Errors in meiosis can result in gametes with extra or missing chromosomes and cause conditions like Down syndrome if fertilization occurs.
Compare And Contrast Mitosis And Meiosis
Mitosis and meiosis are types of cell division. Mitosis produces two identical daughter cells through replication of the parent cell's chromosomes. Meiosis reduces the chromosome number by half to produce gametes involved in sexual reproduction, which combines genetic material from two parents to form a unique child.
Meiosis
Meiosis is a type of cell division that produces gametes, such as sperm and egg cells, with half the normal number of chromosomes. It involves two rounds of division called Meiosis I and Meiosis II. In Meiosis I, homologous chromosomes pair up and separate, reducing the number of chromosome sets from two to one. Meiosis II then separates the chromatids, resulting in four haploid daughter cells each with one set of chromosomes. This ensures genetic diversity in the offspring from sexual reproduction.
Science
Reproduction can occur through either asexual or sexual means. Asexual reproduction involves a single organism dividing to produce genetically identical offspring, such as bacterial binary fission. Sexual reproduction requires the genetic contribution of two parents to produce offspring with a mix of characteristics. Gametes are formed through meiosis which reduces the number of chromosomes by half to form sperm and egg cells. Fertilization fuses the gametes to form a diploid zygote and restart the life cycle.
Meiosis
Meiosis is a type of cell division that produces haploid gametes from diploid cells in two stages. In meiosis I, homologous chromosomes pair up and separate, resulting in two haploid cells. These cells each undergo meiosis II, where the sister chromatids separate, resulting in four haploid cells that can fuse during fertilization. This ensures genetic variation between offspring and prevents doubling of the chromosome number each generation. Errors during meiosis can result in aneuploidy and genetic disorders.
Mitosis Vs Meiosis
Mitosis and meiosis both involve cell division but have key differences. Mitosis produces two identical daughter cells through direct cell division. Meiosis involves two cell divisions and produces four non-identical haploid daughter cells through independent assortment and crossing over of homologous chromosomes. The stages of interphase, prophase, metaphase, anaphase and telophase occur in both processes, but meiosis includes two divisions and involves pairing of homologous chromosomes and separation of sister chromatids.
Cytology
The document discusses the processes of cell division through mitosis and meiosis. It explains that mitosis produces two identical daughter cells and occurs in somatic cells, while meiosis produces four haploid daughter cells and occurs in germ cells to create gametes. Both processes go through similar stages of prophase, metaphase, anaphase and telophase, but meiosis involves two cell divisions to separate homologous chromosomes and then sister chromatids, resulting in four daughter cells each with half the number of chromosomes. The key difference is that mitosis maintains genetic variation, while meiosis increases it through independent assortment and crossing over.
Mitosis And Meiosis
Mitosis and meiosis are two types of cell division. Mitosis produces two identical daughter cells through prophase, metaphase, anaphase and telophase. Meiosis produces four haploid cells through two divisions, meiosis I and meiosis II. Meiosis I separates homologous chromosomes and results in two haploid cells. Meiosis II separates sister chromatids to form a total of four haploid cells with only one chromosome from each pair. The key difference is that mitosis replicates somatic cells while meiosis forms gametes needed for sexual reproduction.

LT4.2 Skeletal System
There are two types of bone tissue: compact bone which is dense and forms the outer layer, and spongy bone which is less dense and found in low stress areas. Bones are composed of osteocytes embedded in bone matrix, as well as osteoblasts which build bone, osteoclasts which resorb bone, and osteogenic cells which develop into osteoblasts. A long bone has a central shaft made of compact bone surrounding marrow, expanded ends made of inner spongy and outer compact bone lined with marrow, and growth plates between the shaft and ends.

A long bone has a central shaft made of compact bone surrounding marrow, expanded ends made of inner spongy and outer compact bone lined with marrow, and growth plates between the shaft and ends.
LT4.1 Introduction to the Skeletal System
The skeletal system has several key functions:
1. It provides structure and support for the body, protects vital organs, and allows for movement.
2. Bones act as a reservoir for minerals and as sites for blood cell formation in the bone marrow.
3. The skeletal system is divided into the axial skeleton which includes the skull, vertebrae, and thorax, and the appendicular skeleton which includes the limbs and their attachments.
4. Bones are classified based on their shape into long bones, short bones, flat bones, irregular bones, and sesamoid bones, with each shape relating to its particular functions.
LT2.4 Carbon Cycle
The document describes the carbon cycle and key concepts about carbon. It discusses how carbon is the fundamental building block of life and is present in all living and once-living organisms. Carbon cycles between reservoirs in the atmosphere, biosphere, geosphere, hydrosphere and lithosphere through natural fluxes and processes. It moves between these spheres and reservoirs as carbon dioxide and other gases, and is exchanged between the atmosphere, plants, animals and fossils through photosynthesis, respiration, fossil fuel formation and burning.
LT2.2 Cellular Respiration PowerPoint Notes
Cellular respiration is the process by which organisms generate energy (ATP) from glucose. It occurs in three stages: glycolysis in the cytoplasm, the Krebs cycle in the mitochondria, and the electron transport chain in the mitochondria. Aerobic cellular respiration uses oxygen and produces the most ATP, while anaerobic respiration does not use oxygen and produces less ATP. All organisms undergo cellular respiration to break down glucose and generate energy in the form of ATP, which is required for life processes like growth and repair.
LT2.1 Photosynthesis PowerPoint Notes
The document discusses photosynthesis and provides information about the process. It defines photosynthesis as the process by which sunlight energy is converted to glucose energy. It also notes that photosynthesis occurs in the chloroplasts of plants and involves the reactants of carbon dioxide, water, and sunlight being converted to the products of glucose and oxygen. Producers that undergo photosynthesis supply the entire food chain with energy.
U3.6 integumentary system
The document discusses the effects of aging on the integumentary system. As people age, their skin becomes more prone to injuries and infections, their immune system becomes less sensitive, and their muscles and bones weaken. The skin also thins and becomes dry and scaly, hair thins and changes color, and the skin sags and wrinkles. The body's ability to lose heat and repair skin damage also decreases with age.
U3.5 integumentary system
The document summarizes the four phases of skin injury repair: 1) Inflammatory phase where bleeding occurs and an inflammatory response is triggered. 2) Migratory phase where a scab forms and cells migrate to remove debris. 3) Proliferation phase where the scab is undermined by epidermal cell migration and fibroblast activity produces collagen. 4) Scarring phase where the scab is shed and scar tissue forms and elevates the epidermis over several weeks.
LT1.1 Characteristics of Life ppt
All living things share certain characteristics:
1) They are made of cells, metabolize energy, respond to stimuli, reproduce, evolve over generations, and maintain homeostasis.
2) They are organized into hierarchical levels from cells to organisms and ecosystems.
3) They grow and develop throughout their lifecycles according to their unique processes of asexual or sexual reproduction.
Station 24 digestive system
The digestive system processes an average of 60,000 to 100,000 pounds of food over a lifetime. The digestive tract is 27 feet long on average and can take 15 to 48 hours to fully digest a meal. The digestive process begins with sight and smell of food and involves saliva production, stomach acid secretion, and movement of food through the esophagus and stomach over time.
Station 23 digestive system
The digestive system breaks down food into smaller molecules using specialized enzymes. Nutrients are then absorbed into the bloodstream and used by cells through metabolic reactions to produce energy, build substances, and drive cellular activities. Nutritional needs vary between individuals based on their age, gender, height, weight, and activity level.
Station 22 digestive system
The digestive system breaks down food into nutrients that can be absorbed and used by the body. There are two categories of nutrients - micronutrients like vitamins and minerals which are required in small amounts for proper body functioning, and macronutrients like proteins, lipids, and carbohydrates which provide energy and are used to build and repair tissues. The digestive system breaks down foods into smaller molecules that can be absorbed and utilized by cells as building blocks, energy sources, or other functions.
Station 21 digestive system
The digestive system undergoes several changes with age that can affect its normal functioning. The mucus layer and tissues throughout the digestive tract thin with age, making it more susceptible to damage. Peristaltic contractions also weaken over time, slowing intestinal movement and potentially causing constipation. An aging digestive system is also more vulnerable to infections, toxins, and cancers like colon and stomach cancer. Elderly individuals also commonly experience tooth loss due to issues like cavities and gum disease.
Station 20 digestive system
The document discusses three key aspects of the digestive system:
1) Absorption is the process by which digested nutrients pass from the gastrointestinal tract into the bloodstream and lymph systems to be distributed to cells. This occurs mainly through diffusion, facilitated diffusion, osmosis, and active transport.
2) In the large intestine, sluggish movements and occasional mass movements help move waste toward the rectum while allowing for nutrient absorption.
3) Defecation involves the relaxation of the internal anal sphincter and contraction of the external anal sphincter in a reflex triggered by the presence of waste in the rectum, allowing for the voluntary elimination of solid and liquid waste from the anus.
Station 19 digestive system
The document discusses two key aspects of the digestive system:
1. The swallowing process is initiated voluntarily but then proceeds automatically through a series of phases, beginning with mastication (chewing and crushing food) in the oral phase.
2. The regulation of gastric activity is controlled by the central nervous system and reflexes within the digestive tract walls, as well as hormones. Control occurs over three phases - the cephalic phase prepares the stomach for food, the gastric phase enhances secretions to break down the food, and the intestinal phase controls gastric emptying and triggers other organs.
Station 18 digestive system
The digestive system allows us to break down food and absorb nutrients. It consists of the mouth, esophagus, stomach, small intestine, large intestine, and anus. Food enters the mouth where it is chewed and mixed with saliva before traveling to the stomach for further breakdown. Nutrients are then absorbed through the small intestine into the bloodstream and unused waste moves into the large intestine to be excreted from the anus.
Station 16 digestive system
The digestive system includes several accessory organs that help break down food and nutrients. The pancreas secretes digestive enzymes and hormones to regulate blood sugar. The liver produces bile to break down fats, stores vitamins and minerals, and breaks down toxins and old blood cells. The gallbladder stores and concentrates bile before sending it to the small intestine to help digest dietary fats.
Station 15 digestive system
The large intestine, also known as the colon, accepts undigested material from the small intestine. It is approximately 4-5 feet long and includes the cecum, colon (ascending, transvers, descending, and sigmoid portions), and rectum. The large intestine absorbs water and vitamins back into the body, undergoes microbial fermentation where bacteria produce vitamins, and compacts and eliminates waste through defecation. It contains billions of beneficial bacteria that aid in digestion and keep harmful bacteria away.
Station 14 digestive system
The small intestine is the body's major digestive organ that is around 20 feet long. It is subdivided into the duodenum, jejunum, and ileum. The small intestine uses enzymes from the pancreas and liver to further break down nutrients and its main function is to absorb these nutrients into the bloodstream. It accomplishes absorption through villi, finger-like projections that increase the intestinal surface area. The small intestine processes around 2 gallons of food and liquid per day through contractions that move the chyme through the intestine.
Station 13 digestive system
The document discusses two conditions related to imbalances in the digestive system: ulcers and heartburn. It states that ulcers are usually caused by a bacterial infection from Helicobacter pylori that burrows into the stomach lining. Most ulcers occur when there is not enough mucus lining in the stomach to protect it from hydrochloric acid, allowing the acid to damage the stomach muscle and potentially leak into the abdominal cavity. The document also explains that heartburn is caused by stomach acid regurgitating into the esophagus, usually because the muscle at the end of the esophagus does not close properly after swallowing, sometimes from overeating spicy foods or during pregnancy. Antacids provide temporary relief from

BU4.4 Meiosis & Gamete Formation
- 1. UNIT 4 REPRODUCTION & CELLULAR DIVISION Section 4 Meiosis & Gamete Formation Biology - DeFord
- 2. HOMOLOGOUS CHROMOSOMES Homologous chromosomes are a pair of chromosomes, one inherited from each parent, that have corresponding gene sequences; they are similar but not identical (they carry the same genes but possibly different forms, or alleles, of those genes). Each member of the pair are called homologues.
- 3. SOMATIC CELLS & PLOIDY Somatic Cells (Body Cells) are cells that are produced through mitosis and make up most of a body’s tissues and organs. These are not passed on to children. Somatic cells are diploid (2n), containing 2 of each type of chromosome in the nucleus at interphase; hence homologous pairs are present.
- 4. GAMETES & PLOIDY Gametes (Sex Cells) are cells that are produced through meiosis. Gametes are located in the reproductive organs (ovaries & testes) and are passed on to children. The union between the male (sperm) and female (ovum) gamete is necessary in sexual reproduction to initiate the development of a new individual. Gametes are haploid (n) cells, containing a set of chromosomes having only one member of each chromosome pair present, thus homologous chromosome pairs are not present.

- 6. MEIOSIS Meiosis is the production of haploid cells (gametes) from a diploid cell. Ova – female gamete Sperm – male gamete Meiosis reduces the chromosome number such that each daughter cell has only one of each kind of chromosome, and is thus often referred to as reduction division. The process of meiosis ensures that the next generation will have: the diploid number of chromosomes;
- 7. MEIOSIS Meiosis resembles mitosis except that it is actually two divisions not one; these divisions are called Meiosis I and Meiosis II. Meiosis I results in haploid cells with chromosomes made up of two chromatids. Meiosis II is essentially mitosis on haploid cells. The stages of meiosis resemble mitosis
- 10. GAMETE FORMATION Formation of gametes occurs through a special form of cell division in which the number of chromosomes is reduced…Meiosis! Two major types of gametes in most mammals: Sperm Male gamete that is relatively small in size and mobile. Produced through a process of meiosis called Spermatogenesis. Ova/Ovum (egg) Female gamete that is large in size and stationary, or
- 11. SPERMATOGENESIS Spermatogenesis occurs in males and produces four haploid sperm cells per meiotic event. Men are busy – meiosis produces roughly 250,000,000 sperm per day.
- 12. OOGENESIS Oogenesis occurs in females and produces one haploid egg cell and three polar bodies per meiotic event. Polar bodies are small cells that contain a nuclei and relatively little cytoplasm to conserve nutrients for the secondary oocyte or ovum. They are discarded and eventually degenerate. Woman are less busy in meiosis than men – meiosis produces only a few
