Choose the correct ordering of the events in meiosis Meiosis is a special type of cell division necessary for sexual reproduction in eukaryotes, such as animals, plants and fungi. The number of sets of chromosomes in the cell undergoing meiosis is reduced to half the original number, typically from two sets \(diploid\) to one set \(haploid\). The cells produced by meiosis are either gametes \(the usual case in animals\) or otherwise usually spores from which gametes are ultimately produced \(the case in land plants\). In many organisms, including all animals and land plants \(but not some other groups such as fungi\), gametes are called sperm in males and egg cells or ova in females. Since meiosis has halved the number of sets of chromosomes, when two gametes fuse during fertilisation, the number of sets of chromosomes in the resulting zygote is restored to the original number. Meiotic division occurs in two stages, meiosis I and meiosis II, dividing the cells once at each stage. The first stage begins with a diploid cell that has two copies of each type of chromosome, one from each the mother and father, called homologous chromosomes. All homologous chromosomes pair up and may exchange genetic material with each other in a process called crossing over. Each pair then separates as two haploid cells are formed, each with one chromosome from every homologous pair. In the second stage, each chromosome splits into two, with each half, called a sister chromatid, being separated into two new cells, which are still haploid. This occurs in both of the haploid cells formed in meiosis I. Therefore from each original cell, four genetically distinct haploid cells are produced. These cells can mature into gametes. History Meiosis was discovered and described for the first time in sea urchin eggs in 1876 by the German biologist Oscar Hertwig. It was described again in 1883, at the level of chromosomes, by the Belgian zoologist Edouard Van Beneden, in Ascaris worms' eggs. The significance of meiosis for reproduction and inheritance, however, was described only in 1890 by German biologist August Weismann, who noted that two cell divisions were necessary to transform one diploid cell into four haploid cells if the number of chromosomes had to be maintained. In 1911 the American geneticist Thomas Hunt Morgan observed crossover in Drosophila melanogaster meiosis and provided the first genetic evidence that genes are transmitted on chromosomes. The term meiosis was introduced to biology by J.B. Farmer and J.E.S. Moore in 1905: We propose to apply the terms Maiosis or Maiotic phase to cover the whole series of nuclear changes included in the two divisions that were designated as Heterotype and Homotype by Flemming. It is derived from the Greek word 'lessening'. Youtube video: https://lnkd.in/dFUCdvcW \#nikolays_genetics_lessons

💡 During the 1️⃣ st in-person consortium meeting of the PRO-GRACE project, that took place in Chania, Greece, in October 2023, we took a moment to speak with project partners to get their take on why the project is important and what their specific role in it is. Theo van Hintum, Centre for Genetic Resources, the Netherlands (CGN), explained the tasks his organisation is involved in within PRO-GRACE and shared his thoughts on why developing a research infrastructure dedicated to plant genetic resources is important. 🎥 https://lnkd.in/eZPrt7VG #PlantGeneticResources #cropbiodiversity #researchinfrastructure #research #innovation #HorizonEurope EU Science, Research and Innovation   EU Health and Food Safety
