- Writing a summary: Your younger sister comes barging into your room crying something about, “meiosis? mitosis? chromosomes? chromatids? genes? alleles? What does it all mean?” Being the great older sibling that you are, you agree to make a study guide for her that explains all the terms, how they are related, and why they are important. Your study guide includes a written summary and your hand drawn diagrams to help put all the terms into context.arrow_forwardMeiosis produces daughter cells. 8. 01 4. 2.arrow_forwardTrue or false in mitosis the dna is replicated once while in meiosis it is replicated twicearrow_forward
