Unit Overview
Unit Objectives
CED Topic 5.1: Meiosis
- Explain how meiosis results in the transmission of chromosomes from one generation to the next.
- Describe similarities and/or differences between the phases and outcomes of mitosis and meiosis.
- Explain how the process of meiosis generates genetic diversity.
- Explain how shared, conserved, fundamental processes and features support the concept of common ancestry for all organisms.
- Explain the inheritance of genes and traits as described by Mendel's laws.
- Explain deviations from Mendel's model of the inheritance of traits.
- Explain how the same genotype can result in multiple phenotypes under different environmental conditions.
- Explain how chromosomal inheritance generates genetic variation in sexual reproduction.
