Explain why meiosis leads to significant genetic variation whilemitosis does not.

*** Make your handwriting as clear as possible, please!! ***

Mitosis and meiosis are both integral processes in gene transmission. However, the processes, while similar, have distinct differences. For these processes:

A) Explain how alleles are transmitted differently in mitosis versus meiosis and why both processes are necessary.

B) Genetic variation in offspring is the result of several processes. Explain these processes at the chromosomal level.

Which of the following statements are false about the comparison between mitosis and meiosis? Select all. that apply.

1.Two cytokinesis events occur in mitosis but only one in meiosis

2.Meiosis results in half the number of homologous chromosome pairs as the original cell whereas mitosis has the same number as the original cell

3. Mitosis occurs in somatic cells while meiosis only occurs in germ cells

4.Both haploid and diploid cells undergo mitosis and meiosis

5.Both mitosis and meiosis have one round of DNA replication in the preceding Interphase period

6. Chromosomes undergo disjunction in mitosis but not in meiosis

7.Meiosis leads to a reductive division in the number of chromosomes whereas mitosis does not
