Mutations and Meiosis
infoWhy this? Mutations can create new alleles, while meiosis reshuffles alleles and reduces chromosome number for sexual reproduction. Together, these processes explain sources of genetic variation and help us understand inheritance, genetic disorders, and evolutionary change.
scheduleWhy now? DNA replication, protein synthesis, and mitotic cell division provide the foundations for understanding mutation and meiotic chromosome behaviour. This unit establishes the mechanisms of variation needed for the following study of genetic diversity and adaptations.
