them that you are happy to help)
Body paragraph 1:
Topic sentence: Meiosis is important because it makes
gametes, enabling a species to reproduce.
Supporting details- define gametes; discuss where
meiosis takes place, and outcomes (cell #)
Closing statement: Now I will tell more details about this
process.
Body paragraph 2:
Topic sentence: Meiosis has 8 phases which results in 4
genetically diverse gametes being created.
Supporting details:
- Discuss each of the phases (PMAT X 2)
- Crossing over
- Ind. Ass. (Refer to journal 3/5)
- Seg.
- Discuss chromosome # (diploid vs. haploid)
Closing statement: Next I will tell you how this relates to
fertilization.
Body paragraph 3:
Topic sentence: The gametes that are created in
meiosis are what fuse together during fertilization to
create a zygote.
Supporting details:
- define fertilization
- define male gamete (sperm) vs. female gamete (egg)
- define zygote
- note chromosome #
Closing statement: Summarize why this process
important to creating unique/genetically diverse
individuals.
Conclusion (tell them that if they have more questions,
to contact you and that it was your pleasure to help
them out.)
Sincerely (or Regards, or something similar…)
