Biology Notes on Chapter 10- Meiosis; Homework
Friday: 9/26/08
Today we discussed meiosis- sexual reproduction in multicellular organisms. A cell division that results in the formation of four genetically different haploid duaghter cells. The attached notes were the focus of our discussion. Students were also intorduced to the concept of genetic recombination leading to variation in living things.
Students took a short vocabulary/content quiz for a formative assessment.
Use the notes to review the information on Meiosis- the reduction division that changes diploid cells to haploid cells after two separate divisions.
