- Meiosis is essential for sexual reproduction and involves halving the number of chromosomes
- Important chromosome key terms include DNA, genes, locus, allele, and homologous chromosomes
- Meiosis 1 includes prophase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase, and cytokinesis, resulting in four haploid daughter cells
- Meiosis 2 involves the duplication of chromosomes and results in four haploid daughter cells
- Meiosis contributes to genetic variation through independent segregation and assortment, genetic recombination, and random fertilization, leading to diverse offspring.
