POGIL - Meiosis
How does sexual reproduction lead to genetic variation?
Cells reproduce through mitosis to make exact copies of the original cell. This is done for growth and repair. Sexually- reproducing
organisms have a second form of cell division that produces reproductive cells with half the number of chromosomes. This process
is called meiosis, and without it, humans, oak trees, beetles, and all other sexually reproducing organisms would be vastly different
than they are today.
Model 1 - Meiosis I
1. According to Model 1, the cells that go through meiosis are found in which type of organs?
2. Considering what you already know about mitosis in cells, what event must take place during interphase before a cell proceeds
to division?

4. In Model 1, how many replicated chromosomes does the cell contain during prophase?

POGIL - Meiosis

How does sexual reproduction lead to genetic variation?

Cells reproduce through mitosis to make exact copies of the original cell. This is done for growth and repair. Sexually- reproducing organisms have a second form of cell division that produces reproductive cells with half the number of chromosomes. This process is called meiosis , and without it, humans, oak trees, beetles, and all other sexually reproducing organisms would be vastly different than they are today.

Model 1 - Meiosis I

  1. According to Model 1, the cells that go through meiosis are found in which type of organs?
  2. Considering what you already know about mitosis in cells, what event must take place during interphase before a cell proceeds to division?
  3. What two structures make up a single replicated chromosome?
  4. In Model 1, how many replicated chromosomes does the cell contain during prophase?

Read this! Alleles are alternative forms of the same gene. For example, gene A may contain the information for fur color. One allele โ€œAโ€ may result in white fur, while the alternative โ€œaโ€ may result in black fur. Homologous chromosomes are chromosomes that contain the same genes, although each chromosome in the homologous pair may have different alleles.

  1. At which stage in meiosis I do the pairs of homologous chromosomes come together?
  2. Once the chromosomes have formed a pair, what are they called?
  3. At the end of meiosis I, two cells have been produced. How many replicated chromosomes are in each of these cells?
  4. Cells with a full set of chromosomes are referred to as diploid or 2N , whereas cells with half the chromosomes are haploid or N. At which stage(s) of meiosis 1 are the cells diploid and at which stage(s) are they haploid?
  5. Which of the statements below correctly describes the relationship between the cells at the end of telophase 1 and the original cell. a. The new cells have one copy of all of the genetic information in the original cell. b. The new cells have two copies of all of the genetic information in the original cell. c. The new cells have one copy of half of the genetic information in the original cell. d. The new cells have two copies of half of the genetic information in the original cell.
  6. Considering the genetic makeup of the homologous pairs, will the cells at the end of the telophase 1 be genetically identical to each other? Explain.

Model 2 - Meiosis II

  1. According to Model 2, where did each of the cells come from that started meiosis II

Model 5 - Genetic Variation

  1. Model 5 is a condensed version of meiosis I. Notice the two possible arrangements of chromosomes in late prophase. Considering what you know about DNA replication and meiosis, is either arrangement equally likely during the formation of tetrads in late prophase I? Explain.
  2. If there were three sets of homologous chromosomes in the cell in Model 5, how many possible arrangements would there be for tetrads in late prophase I?

Read This! When homologous chromosome pairs align on the spindle during metaphase I the orientation of one pair is independent of the orientation of any other pair. This is known as independent assortment. Humans have 46 chromosomes, arranged as 23 pairs.

During metaphase I each pair lines up independently, which results in 2^23 possible combinations.

  1. Meiosis and sexual reproduction each lead to variation in the genetic make-up of every person. Explain how meiotic events, as well as the random fertilization of eggs and sperm, together lead to this genetic variation.
