PREPARE FOR YOUR MINDS TO BE BLOWN AWAY THIS WEEK AS WE DISCUSS MEIOSIS! YOU WILL BE REQUIRED TO KNOW THE STEPS OF MEIOSIS, WHAT OCCURS IN EACH PHASE, AND WHAT EACH PHASE LOOKS LIKE! BE SURE TO REVIEW NOTES NIGHTLY, AS THIS IS A DIFFICULT CONCEPT FOR MANY STUDENTS TO GRASP!

• Recall the process of meiosis and identify process occurring in diagrams of stages.
• Recall the process of meiosis and identify process occurring in diagrams of stages.
• Infer the importance of the genes being on separate chromosomes as it relates to meiosis.
• Infer the importance of the genes being on separate chromosomes as it relates to meiosis.
• Explain how the process of meiosis leads to assortment and ultimately to greater genetic diversity.
• Explain how the process of meiosis leads to assortment and ultimately to greater genetic diversity.
• Exemplify sources of genetic variation in sexually reproducing organisms including crossing over, random assortment of chromosomes, gene mutation, nondisjunction, and fertilization.
• Exemplify sources of genetic variation in sexually reproducing organisms including crossing over, random assortment of chromosomes, gene mutation, nondisjunction, and fertilization.
• Compare meiosis and mitosis including type of reproduction (asexual or sexual), replication and separation of DNA and cellular material, changes in chromosome number, number of cell divisions, and number of cells produced in a complete cycle.
