Explain Meiosis and Cell cycle.
Eukaryotic cells can split by mitosis or meiosis. In humans mitosis yields new cells for growth also although mutations are the ultimate source of genetic variability both meiosis and sexual reproduction as well can contribute to new genetic combinations in offspring.
Question- How do both meiosis as well as sexual reproduction (fertilization) produce offspring that vary genetically from the parents? Be sure to talk about stages in meiosis that increase variability as well as the process of fertilization.
