Back
Problem 1a
How do we know that chromosomes exist in homologous pairs?
Problem 1b
How do we know that DNA replication occurs during interphase, not early in mitosis?
Problem 1c
How do we know that mitotic chromosomes are derived from chromatin?
- Write a short essay that contrasts mitosis and meiosis, including their respective roles in organisms, the mechanisms by which they achieve their respective outcomes, and the consequences should either process fail to be executed with absolute fidelity.
