Meiosis (Updated)

The video explains meiosis, a process that contributes to genetic variety by producing gametes with half the number of chromosomes. It contrasts meiosis with mitosis, highlighting the reduction division and stages of meiosis I and II. Key processes like crossing over and independent assortment are discussed, which lead to genetic diversity. The video also touches on nondisjunction, a potential error in meiosis that can result in genetic disorders.

How does the chromosome number change from the starting cell to the ending cells in meiosis?

Why do siblings with the same parents often look different from each other?

What is nondisjunction and how can it affect genetic disorders?
