Flowchart Showing The Phases Of Meiosis 1
Meiosis ii is known as equational division as the cells begin as haploid cells and end as haploid cells.
Flowchart showing the phases of meiosis 1. Meiosis division i is divisible into four major stages prophase i metaphase i anaphase i and telophase i which are briefly discussed below. As in mitosis the cell grows during g 1 1 1 start subscript 1 end subscript phase copies all of its chromosomes during s phase and prepares for division during g 2 2 2 start subscript 2 end subscript phase. The different stages of meiosis i through meiosis ii including interphase in the proper sequence. This is a complicated and prolonged phase of meiosis which can be subdivided further into five sub stages i e leptotene zygotene pachytene diplotene and diakinesis.
Spindle fibers pull homologous pairs to ends of the cell. Homologous chromosome line up in the center of the cell. The period during which dna is synthesized. It consists of two successive divisions which are meiosis 1 and meiosis 2.
These differ slightly from those in meiosis i. Meiosis produces daughter cells with half the number of chromosomes as the parent cell. In most cells there is a narrow window of time during which dna is synthesized. Thus only a g phase occurs.
Before entering meiosis i a cell must first go through interphase. 4 haploid n daughter cells form. 1 law of independent assortment of homologous chromosome matches along the metaphase plate during metaphase i and introduction of sister chromatids in metaphase ii this is the resulting division of homologs and daughter chromatids during anaphase i and ii it permits an arbitrary and free distribution of chromosomes to every daughter. Meiosis is the type of cell division that is seen during the formation of gametes sex cells.
There are again four phases in meiosis ii. Whereas in animals meiosis takes place during gamete sperm and egg formation. Meiosis produces gamete hereditary diversity in two ways. In plants meiosis is observed after spore production.
Sister chromatids separate from each. Note that the g in g1 represents gap and the 1 represents first so the g1 phase is the first gap phase. Cells undergo a round of dna replication. The process of meiosis is exhibited by higher forms of organisms that reproduce sexually.
