Meiosis
LO Describe meiosis
Starter: Write this down:
Meiosis is a nuclear division giving rise to cells that are
genetically different and happens during gamete
production

What is meiosis?

Listen out for:
- What meiosis is
- What the products of meiosis are

Lets Model Meiosis

Mitosis

46 chromosomes (diploid)

Mitosis

Mitosis

2 Daughter cells
46 chromosomes (diploid)

2. Nuclear
membrane
dissolves,
chromosomes are
copied

6. Nuclear membrane
reforms. Two diploid
daughter cells

1. Diploid cell

Mitosis
4. Chromosomes are pulled
apart into chromatids

5. Cell Membrane
forms creating two
cells

3. Chromosomes line
up at center

Meiosis

46 chromosomes (diploid)

Meiosis

Meiosis

Pairs align

Meiosis

Crossing over of genes

might happen

Meiosis

Pairs divided and

two cells formed

Meiosis

Chromosomes line up again

Meiosis

Chromosomes pulled
apart into chromatids

Meiosis

Cell membrane forms dividing

into 4 daughter cells
23 chromosomes (haploid)

Meiosis

2. Crossing over
might happen

1. 46 chromosomes (23
pairs) Diploid
5. 4 daughter gamete cells (sex
cells)
23 chromosomes (haploid)

Meiosis

4. Chromosomes divided
into chromatids. Pulled
apart into 4 separate
cells.

3. Pairs pulled
apart into two
separate cells

Demonstrate
You are going to work in small teams and make a
3D timeline on the stages of metosis
Resources: pipe cleaners, A3 paper, diagrams,
card sort with jumbled up stages, extension Q,
Each group needs:
1. A timekeeper (who needs to collect the pack at
the front)
2. A teacher link (can ask me 1Q)
Extend yourself: How does meiosis lead to
variation?

Model
timeline!
WWW?
EBI?
3. To explain how
meiosis leads to
variation

3. To explain how meiosis leads to variation

fertilisation occurs leading to mixing of

genetic information
Crossing over of genetic information.

Comparing mitosis and meiosis

Mitosis
How many cell
divisions are there?
How many cells
produced
How many
chromosomes does it
have?
When is used for?
Where in the body
does it happen?

Meiosis

Comparing mitosis and meiosis

Mitosis

Meiosis

How many cell

divisions are there?

The cell divide once

The cell divides twice

How many cells

produced

How many
chromosomes does it
have?

46 chromosomes
the same number as
the original cell

23 chromosome
half the number of
chromosomes as the
original cell

When is used for?

To make new body

cells

This is how gametes

are made

Where in the body

does it happen?

It happens in all
parts of the body

It happens only in
the testes and
