Unit 4 Genetics-Heredity Exam 2/12 and 2/13/11
2 a. Students know meiosis is an early step in sexual reproduction in which the pairs of
chromosomes separate and segregate randomly during cell division to produce gametes
containing one chromosome of each type.
2b. Students know only certain cells in a multicellular organism undergo meiosis.
