Introduction:
Chromosomes are the densely packed DNA molecule, found within the nucleus of a cell. During sexual reproduction the chromosome undergoes genetic recombination. During cell cycles the chromosome undergoes different phases to divide itself into two.

- | The Role of Meiosis Key Idea: There are two types of cell division in eukaryotes, mitosis and meiosis, but only meiosis produces cells that are genetically different to the parent cell. New cells are formed when existing cells divide. There are two forms of cell division in eukaryotes, mitosis and meiosis. Mitosis produces two identical daughter cells from a parent cell. Meiosis is a special type of cell division, and produces sex cells (gametes or spores) for sexual reproduction. In sexual reproduction, sex cells from two parents combine to form an individual that is genetically different to its parents. The sex cells in humans, called eggs and sperm, are produced by meiosis. Events occurring during meiosis creates gametes with unique combinations of gene variants and so creates genetic variability. Sexual reproduction rearranges and reshuffles the genetic material into new combinations. This is why family members may look similar, but they'll never be identical (except for…arrow_forwardExplain in 7-8 sentencesarrow_forwardHow does the sexual life cycle increase the genetic variation in a species?
