This study guide covers meiosis and its role in genetic diversity. It details the three main contributors to diversity: crossing over (Prophase I), independent assortment (Metaphase I & II), and random fertilization. It also explains nondisjunction, chromosomal abnormalities (trisomy, monosomy), and uses Down syndrome as an example. Practice questions covering these concepts are included.
