Genetics; The Cellular Basis of Reproduction and Inheritance. March 5 - March 9, 2018

March 9, 2018
Crossing over during meiosis

 The Benefits of Crossing over:
1) It produces genetic variation.
2) Diversity within a species increases the chances of survival



Non-disjunction

Consequences of Non-disjunction:
 Sex chromosomes:
