Lesson 2: Meiosis & Genetic Diversity
Duration of Days: 2
Lesson Objective
Explain how cellular processes during meiosis generate genetic variation and contribute to evolutionary capabilities.
At what specific stages of meiosis are new combinations of alleles generated?
How does genetic variation within a population protect that population from environmental changes?
5.2- Meiosis & Genetic Diversity
Explore the precise moments during meiosis and fertilization where unique genetic combinations are created. Understand how these mechanisms ensure that, besides identical twins, no two offspring from the same parents are genetically identical, providing the raw variation necessary for natural selection.
