• Vocab…
– Diploid Cell
– Haploid Cell
– Homologous Chromosomes
– Zygote
– In each of the 4 blocks – look up the terms
(above)
I told you before that we categorize human cells in
two categories: body cells and sex cells, what do
you THINK makes them so different?
HOW MANY CHROMOSOMES ARE FOUND
IN EACH HUMAN BODY CELL?
Diploid Cells
• In the body cells of animals and most plants,
chromosomes occur in pairs
•In each pair, one you inherited from your mom, the
other from your dad.
From
Mom
From
Dad
Homologous Chromosomes
• The two chromosomes of each pair are called
homologous chromosomes.
• Each pair of homologous chromosomes has genes for
the same traits.
Diploid Cells
• A cell with two of each kind of chromosome
is called a diploid cell.
• ALL of your body cells are diploid.
• Body cells (diploid) are different from sex cells.
•
Each person can only pass on ONE of their homologous
chromosomes to their young.
HUMANS = 46 CHROMOSOMES
Each parent passes 23 to their young, so
that when the sperm and egg combine- it
will equal 46 Chromosomes.
Haploid Cells
• So, sex cells CANNOT be diploid.
•A cell containing only one of each kind of
chromosome is called a haploid cell.

Since they have different amounts of chromosomes, the way they are made differ.
● Body cells are made by the division process MITOSIS.
● Sex cells are made by the division process MEIOSIS.
Before a cell can divide by either method, it must first prepare for
cell division.
The cell cycle (or entire life cycle of the cell) consists of:
INTERPHASE: The longest/busiest stage in a cell’s life
1. Chromosomes (DNA) replicates
2. Cell grows bigger
CELL DIVISION: Mitosis or Meiosis
CYTOKINESIS: When the cytoplasm divides and the
cell completely separates.

The kind of cell division that produces sex cells (haploid)
containing half the number of chromosomes as a body cell, is
called meiosis.

What do you notice about the chromosomes in each cell between
Meiosis I and Meiosis II?
Meiosis
• These haploid cells are called sex cells—
gametes.
• Male gametes are called sperm.
XY
• Female gametes are called eggs.
XX
Meiosis
• When a sperm fertilizes an egg, the
resulting zygote once again has the
diploid number of chromosomes.
There are 2 stages of MEIOSIS--
Meiosis I and Meiosis II
PI MI AI TI result in 2 diploid
daughter cells
PII MII AII TII result in 4 haploid
daughter cells
1st: chromosomes are replicated
(interphase)
Prophase I – chromosomes appear
Metaphase I – chromosomes line up in
the center in homologous pairs
(called tetrads)
Anaphase I – homologous
chromosomes are pulled apart
(still look like an “X”)
Telophase I – 2 haploid daughter
cells
Prophase II – chromosomes still present
Metaphase II – chromosomes line up in
the center (no longer in homologous
pairs)
Anaphase II – chromosomes are pulled
apart (centromeres split)
Telophase II – 4 haploid daughter cells

Telophase II
Meiosis II results in four
haploid (N) daughter cells.
Combinations and
Crossing Over
23 chromosomes can

segregate in 2 ways →
More than 8 million possible
combinations
Crossing-Over
In Meiosis:
Before the sex cells are created,
Homologous chromosomes
actually break and exchange traitsin a process known as crossing
over.
Crossing-Over
Crossing over can occur at any location on a chromosome, and
it can occur at several locations at the same time.
This causes the traits found in each gamete varied. This is
why siblings of the same parents can look so different from
each other.
Nondisjunction
• The failure of homologous chromosomes to separate
properly during meiosis is called nondisjunction.
•This would occur when homologous chromosomes
are suppose to separate from each other.
Down syndrome: Trisomy 21
• Down syndrome is the only autosomal
trisomy in which affected individuals
survive to adulthood.
• This chart of chromosome pairs is called a karyotype,
and it is valuable in identifying unusual chromosome
numbers in cells.
Question 1
A cell with two of each kind of chromosome is
__________.
A. diploid
B. haploid
C. biploid
D. polyploid

The answer is A. The
two chromosomes of
each pair in a diploid
cell are called
homologous
chromosomes. Each
has genes for the same
traits.

reproduction?

Meiosis is cell
division that
produces haploid
gametes. If meiosis
did not occur, each
generation would
have twice as many
chromosomes as
the preceding
generation.
