Chapter 12.1, Problem 2R
Summary Introduction
To explain:
The processes that underlie Mendel laws of independent assortment and segregation, with the help of diagrams.
Introduction:
The meiosis refers to the phenomenon where the cells by virtue of reductional and then equational division form four haploid daughter cells. The reductional division is called as meiosis I because of the chromosome number decrease by exact half. The equational division resembles the mitotic division because the chromosome number remains equal and four daughter cells are obtained.
