MEIOSIS I – This process is called synapsis
when homologous chromosomes pair up.
MEIOSIS I – Paired homologous duplicated chromosomes are referred to as
tetrads
MEIOSIS I – Crossing over is
Non sister chromatids cross over and exchange genetic information.
MEIOSIS I – Because of crossing-over, the genetic instructions from a father and a mother are
mixed and the daughter cell receives chromosomes with recombined genes.

MEIOSIS I – The end result is the chromosomes are
haploid (1n) because each contains 1 set of duplicated chromosomes. In spite of having 46 chromosomes – they are considered haploid due to the fact that the set is mixed and no longer identical

the testes
SPERMATOGENESIS - Begins with
spermatogonium which are the diploid mother cells.
SPERMATOGENESIS - The spermatogonia divide to produce
diploid primary spermatocytes
SPERMATOGENESIS - Two secondary spermatocytes form from
the primary spermatocytes. The secondary spermatocytes are haploid (each with 23 duplicated chromosomes).
SPERMATOGENESIS - The secondary spermatocytes divide to produce
four spermatids each with 23 chromosomes.
SPERMATOGENESIS - Spermatids then mature into
motile sperm
Oogenesis - Occurs in
the ovaries
Oogenesis - Unlike the four sperm produced from a single primary spermatocyte, only 1 ovum
is generated from each primary oocyte.
Oogenesis - The oogonium is
the diploid mother cell.
Oogenesis - The oogonium divides to make
1 diploid primary oocytes. Before, birth meiosis I is stopped.
Oogenesis - Right before ovulation, meiosis I is resumed and the primary oocytes
divide to make haploid – secondary oocytes.
Oogenesis - During this division, one of the primary oocytes receives
the cytoplasm, while the other primary oocyte becomes a polar body (first polar body). The polar body is discarded and disintegrates.
Oogenesis - Division of the secondary oocyte is stopped until
fertilization.
Oogenesis - If fertilization does not occur, meiosis II
never finishes its division. Oogenesis - If fertilization occurs, meiosis II is completed
Oogenesis - As with primary oocytes, one of the cells receives
the cytoplasm and the other doesn’t, resulting in a second polar body
