 * # **Students will be able to summarize the events that occur during meiosis and relate crossing over, law of segragation ([|Click Here]!), independent assortment ([|Click Here]!), and random fertilization to genetic variation. ([|Click Here For Video]!)**
 * 1) Meiosis reduces the number of chromosomes by half to form reproductive cells. When the reproductive cells unite in fertilization, the normal diploid number is restored. ([|Click Here For Video]!),
 * 2) During meiosis 1, homologous chromosomes separate. Crossing over during prophase 1 results in the exchange of genetic material between homologous chromosomes. ([|Click Here For Flow Chart]!)
 * 3) During meiosis 2, the two chromatids of each chromosome separate. As a result of meiosis, four haploid cells are produced from one diploid cell. ([|Click Here For Video]!)
 * 4) Independent assortment, crossing over and random fertilization contribute to produce genetic variation in sexually reproducing organisms. Watch all Videos ([|Click Here for Video]!) ([|Click Here for Video]!) ([|Click Here for Video]!)
 * 5) **Students will understand the role of spermatogenesis and oogenesis.**
 * 6) In sexually reproducing eukaryotic organisms, gametes form through the process of spermatogenesis in males and oogenesis in females. ([|Click Here For Video]!)
 * 7) **Students will be able to differentiate between asexual and sexual reproduction, explain the different types and evaluate the genetic and evolutionary advantage and disadvantage between them.**
 * 8) Asexual reproduction is the formation of offspring from one parent. The offspring are genetically identical to the parent. ([|Click Here For Video]!)
 * 9) A disadvantage to asexual reproduction in a changing environment is the lack of genetic diversity among the offspring. ([|Click Here For the Video on Benefits]!)
 * 10) Sexual reproduction is the formation and union of gametes. The offspring are genetically different from the parents. ([|Click Here For Video]!)
 * 11) Sexual reproduction increases variation in the population by making possible genetic recombination. || * Meiosis
