• asexual
• homologous
• genes

Crossing over helps promote 

• male genotype
• genetic variation
• DNA replication
• mitosis

What is another reason we need meiosis?

• So the offspring has genes from both parents
• So the offspring has genes from one parent
• So the offspring has genes from neither parents
• So the offspring makes its own genes
