Question
Chapter 27.4, Problem 4AYLO
Summary Introduction
To discuss:
The multiple reasons that meiosis results in genetic diversity of the gametes
Introduction:
Meiosis is a cell division which involves the chromosome reduction division. Meiosis occurs in almost all germ cells by which the gametes are produced in the reproductive organs. In humans, meiosis occurs in the germ cells of sperm and ova.
