The document discusses the process of meiosis and how it relates to sexual reproduction and genetic variation. It explains that meiosis involves two cell divisions that result in four gametes with half the number of chromosomes as the original cell. This allows for genetic material from both parents to mix during fertilization, resulting in offspring that exhibit new combinations of traits and greater variation between individuals of a species.

– Male and female gametes fuse together during fertilization to form a zygote. The chromosome number is halved during the formation of gametes by the process of meiosis. This maintains the chromosome number generations after generations. Meiosis leads to genetic diversity which is very essential for evolution.

Amino acids are biologically important organic compounds composed of amine (-NH2) and carboxylic acid (-COOH) functional groups, along with a side-chain specific to each amino acid. The key elements of an amino acid are carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, and nitrogen, though other elements are found in the side-chains of certain amino acids. About 500 amino acids are known and can be classified in many ways. They can be classified according to the core structural functional groups' locations as alpha- (α-), beta- (β-), gamma- (γ-) or delta- (δ-) amino acids; other categories relate to polarity, pH level, and side-chain group type (aliphatic, acyclic, aromatic, containing hydroxyl or sulfur, etc.). In the form of proteins, amino acids comprise the second-largest component (water is the largest) of human muscles, cells and other tissues.Outside proteins, amino acids perform critical roles in processes such as neurotransmitter transport and biosynthesis.
La meiosis es un proceso de división nuclear que utiliza los mismos mecanismos que la mitosis, por lo que es bastante parecida, aunque su significado biológico es diferente ya que es reducir a la mitad el número de cromosomas para que no se duplique el número de la especie tras la fecundación (= fusión de gametos). La meiosis es en realidad una doble división (de las cuales la segunda es como una mitosis normal) que se da exclusivamente en células diploides. El proceso comienza igual que la mitosis, es decir, con una replicación previa de todas las cadenas de ADN al final de la interfase, de manera que al comenzar la división tenemos doble número de cadenas; tras la duplicación comienza la meiosis.
Meiosis is a double division which occurs in the diploid cells and give rise to four haploid cells ,each having half the number of chromosomes as compared to the parent cell.
Meiosis is the process in which a single cell divides twice to form four haploid daughter cells.
These cells are the gametes – sperms in males and egg in females.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

2. The human
body
contains
100 trillion
cells.
There is a
nucleus inside
each human
cell (except red
blood cells).
Each nucleus
contains 46
chromosomes,
arranged in
23 pairs.
One
chromosome
of every pair is
from each
parent.
The
chromosomes
are filled with
tightly coiled
strands of
DNA.
Genes are
segments
of DNA that contain
instructions to
make
proteins— the
building blocks
of life.
4. Fertilization 2
Fertilization occurs when the nucleus of a male
reproductive cell combines with the nucleus of a
female reproductive cell
The reproductive cells are called GAMETES
In animals, the male gamete is the
SPERM cell and the female gamete is the
OVUM
When the male and female gametes combine,
the resulting cell is called a ZYGOTE
10. • Meiosis is preceded by the replication of
chromosomes.
• Meiosis takes place in two sets of cell
divisions, called meiosis I and meiosis II
• One replication followed by the two cell
divisions result in four daughter cells.
• Each daughter cell has only half as many
chromosomes as the parent cell.
11.
12. • In the first cell division (meiosis I),
homologous chromosomes (each with two
sister chromatids) separate from each other
and go to daughter cells
• In the second cell division (meiosis II), sister
chromatids separate.
• Each division has prophase, metaphase
anaphase and telophase. The interphase
between Meiosis I and II is usually very short
or even nonexistent.

14. • Meiosis I is preceded by interphase, in
which chromosomes are replicated to
form sister chromatids
• The sister chromatids are genetically
identical and joined at the centromere
• The single centrosome replicates,
forming two centrosomes.
15. Prophase I
• Occupies more than 90% of the time required for
meiosis
• Chromosomes begin to condense
• In synapsis, homologous chromosomes loosely pair
up, aligned gene by gene
16. • Each pair of chromosomes forms a tetrad, a
group of four chromatids joined together
• In crossing over or recombination ,
nonsister chromatids exchange DNA
segments
• Each tetrad usually has one or more
chiasmata, X-shaped regions where crossing
over occurred
• Crossing over allows exchange of genetic
information between homologous
chromosomes
18. Metaphase I
• In metaphase I, tetrads line up at the
metaphase plate, with one homologous
chromosome facing each pole
• Microtubules attach homologous
chromosomes to opposite spindle poles
• The alignment of homologous chromosomes
is random. There is a 50:50 chance they will
align in any one direction

20. Anaphase I
• In anaphase I, pairs of homologous
chromosomes separate-synapsis is over.
• Spindle fibers pull the tetrads apart towards
the opposite side of the cell.
• Cytokinesis begins.
21. Telophase I
• In the beginning of telophase I, each half of
the cell has a haploid set of chromosomes;
each chromosome still consists of two
sister chromatids
• Cytokinesis usually occurs simultaneously,
forming 2 haploid daughter cells
• There is no S phase between Meiosis I and
II
• New nuclear and nucleolus form.

26. Prophase II
• In prophase II, a spindle apparatus forms
• In late prophase II, chromosomes (each still
composed of two chromatids) move toward the
metaphase plate
Metaphase II
• In metaphase II, the sister chromatids are
arranged at the metaphase plate
• Because of crossing over in meiosis I, the two
sister chromatids of each chromosome are no
longer genetically identical.

33. Genes 17
gene for brown eyes
Genes for any one characteristic
occupy corresponding positions
on homologous chromosomes
But they do not necessarily control
the characteristic in the same way
For example, one of the gene pair
responsible for eye colour might
determine brown eyes and its
partner determine blue eyes*
gene for
blue eyes
gene for
curly hair
gene for
straight
hair
34. Usually only one of a gene pair will be expressed in an
individual
A person inheriting the gene for brown eyes and the gene
for blue eyes will have brown eyes
The gene for brown eyes is said to be dominant to
the gene for blue eyes. The gene for blue eyes is not
expressed in this individual
The gene for blue eyes is said to be recessive to the
gene for brown eyes
18
35. Gene combinations 19
In the first stage of meiosis, the illustration (slide 10)
showed one ‘red’ and one ’blue’ chromosome
going to each daughter cell
One gamete will receive the
gene combination for brown
eyes and curly hair. The other
will receive the genes for blue
eyes and straight hair B
B
b
C
c
c = gene for straight hair
C = gene for curly hair
b = gene for blue eyes
B = gene for brown eyes
36. It is just as likely that both ‘blue’ chromosomes
will go to one daughter cell and both ‘red’
chromosomes go to the other
B
b
c
C
One gamete will receive the
genes B and c (brown eyes
and straight hair)
The other gamete will receive
genes b and C (blue eyes and
curly hair)
20
37. 21
So, there could be 4 types of gamete with different
combinations of the genes
BC brown eyes, curly hair
bc blue eyes, straight hair
Bc brown eyes, straight hair
bC blue eyes, curly hair
38. Variation 22
Meiosis not only halves the number of
chromosomes but can also rearrange
the genes
This is one cause of the variations that occur
in members of the same species
39. Rearrangement of genes can also take
place at fertilization
A sperm may carry a gene for brown eyes (B)
or a gene for blue eyes (b)
An ovum may carry a gene for brown eyes (B)
or a gene for blue eyes (b)
At fertilization, four possible combinations
can occur

Although there are 4 possible combinations of genes

The drawing represents a sperm fertilizing an ovum in a mammalian cell. Only one of the swarm of sperms will penetrate the ovum and bring about fertilization
The left hand drawing represents a vertical section through the ovary of a plant. When the pollen grains land on the stigma they produce pollen tubes which grow through the ovary to reach the ovule.
In the drawing on the right, many thousands of sperm cells swim towards the ovum but only one of them will penetrate and fertilise it.
Sperm and egg formation in humans. Meisosis divides xsomes such that each gamete is haploid, has only one genome. Not just any 23 xsomes, but one xsome of each homologous pair. Requires two cell divisions. Note differences btw meiosis and mitosis. (ch 17)
In sperm formation (spermatogenesis), diploid cells called spermatogonia produce primary spermatocytes. The primary spermatocytes are the diploid cells that go through meiosis, yielding haploid secondary spermatocytes. These spermatocytes then go through meiosis II, yielding four haploid spermatids that will develop into mature sperm cells.
In egg formation (oogenesis), cells called oogonia, produced before the birth of the female, develop into primary oocytes. These diploid cells will remain in meiosis I until they mature in the female ovary, beginning at puberty. (Only one oocyte per month, on average, will complete this maturation process.) Oocytes that mature will enter meiosis II, but their development will remain arrested there until they are fertilized by sperm. An unequal meiotic division of cellular material leads to the production of three polar bodies from the original oocyte and one well-endowed egg. The egg can go on to be fertilized, but the polar bodies will be degraded.

Human body cells contain 46 chromosomes, but the gametes contain only 23.
At fertilisation, the number is restored to 46.
In humans and most other mammals, the ovum mother cell produces four cells by meiosis but only one of these goes on to become a gamete.
*This example is solely for illustration of the principle. Eye colour and hair curliness are not controlled by single genes.
The genes b and B are said to control contrasting characters, i.e. either blue or brown eyes.
Similarly, curly hair and straight hair are contrasting characteristics
