Meiosis
Study Guide Overview
This study guide covers meiosis, the process of gamete formation. It explains the purpose of meiosis (creating genetic diversity), the difference between diploid and haploid cells, and the two main phases of meiosis (Meiosis I and Meiosis II). Key events like crossing over and random alignment are highlighted, along with their contribution to genetic variation. The guide also includes practice questions and exam tips for AP Biology success.
