Genetic Diversity — definition?
Variation of genes within a species.
Heredity — role?
Transmits traits from parents to offspring.
Cell division types — examples?
Mitosis and meiosis.
Mitosis — process?
Produces identical diploid daughter cells.
Meiosis — process?
Produces four genetically diverse haploid cells.
Chromosomes — behavior in mitosis?
Sister chromatids separate during anaphase.
Crossing-over — occurs in?
Meiosis I, during prophase I.
Allele frequency — change due to?
Genetic drift, gene flow, selection.
Mendel's law — states?
Segregation and independent assortment of alleles.
Genotype vs phenotype — difference?
Genotype is genetic makeup; phenotype is observable traits.
