Use the model to describe how genetic continuity is preserved through meiosis.

a)

Cell 7 shows different colored chromosomes than Cell 8. When meiosis is a part of reproduction, none of the offspring will have similar DNA.

b)

Cell 2 shows twice as many chromosomes as Cell 3. When meiosis is a part of reproduction, the offspring inherits twice as much DNA as its parent.
