Answer each question.
1. Compare mitosis to meiosis I and meiosis II.
Where are there specific similarities and differences within the phases? What are some things that could go wrong? What are the consequences?
2. Describe the relationship between the terms DNA, gene, chromosome, allele, polypeptide, and protein. Why do you think scientists at one time thought the genetic material might have been protein?
3. What is Mendelian inheritance?
