Notes: Meiosis
... MEIOSIS IS THE FIRST STEP OF SEXUAL REPRODUCTION!!! Fertilization is the event when the sperm meets the egg. - Creates a single cell called a zygote. Purpose of Meiosis: 1. To create gametes that have ½ the genetic information as the parent. 2. In INCREASE VARIATION in a population. ...

Variation in Inherited Characteristics
... Genes are segments of DNA molecules. Inserting, deleting, or substituting segments of DNA molecules can alter genes. An altered gene may be passed on to every cell that develops from it. The resulting features may help, harm or have little or no effect on the offspring’s success in its environment. ...
