MEIOSIS

Cell Division
Necessity for Trait Inheritance in
offspring for Continuation:
Specific
characteristic that
varies from one
individual to another
Because they are uniquely adapted to enable survival in the
environment.
Transmission of traits from
one generation to another
generation by means of
genetic codes
A cell with 2 sets of
chromosomes is referred to as
diploid (2n).
Somatic cells are diploid.
A cell with a single set of
chromosomes is referred to
as haploid (n).
Gametes are haploid.
Necessity to maintain diploid
chromosomal number and
production of haploid gametes
in sexual reproduction
2n
Human somatic cell has
46 chromosomes
23 pairs of
homologous
chromosomes

Meiosis is the process of nuclear division
that reduces the number of chromosomes
in new cells to half the number of
chromosomes in the parent cell.
Meiosis produces
