Meiosis is a complex process that students find difficult to understand, often confusing it as a variation of mitosis. This program helps clarify the process for students by first developing an understanding of the problems that meiosis solves for the organism. It then uses clear animation to demonstrate how each step of meiosis contributes to the solution of those problems. Presents some fundamental concepts of genetics to illustrate how meiosis, including crossing-over, contributes to genetic diversity.
