Connection between Meiosis and Mendalian Genetics

One of your classmates asked "what is the connection between meiosis and what we are doing now (ie: punnett square problems)... below is what I wrote as I explained the answer. Can you follow it?

In Case You Didn't Get it....

Last day of November already?

Today we finished learning about meiosis( is that how you spell it?). We took notes on meiosis phase 1 and 2. The chromisomes only replicates during INTERPHASE which it goes through once. We also talked about how the chromisomes will cross over, while doing this they can exchange genetic information.

During Meiosis the chromisomes do not line up at the center like the do in mitosis, they are in more of a box formation. After meiosis 1 and 2 you end up with 4 sperm cells in a male, but in a female only one egg will survive.

the HW is finish pages 29 through 31 in the packet and read chapter 11.1
The next scribe is Tara.
