20. 10. Write a one-page report explaining why meiosis is important in sexual reproduction.

21. 10. Write a one-page report explaining why meiosis is important in sexual reproduction. Reports should include that meiosis increases genetic variation within a species, giving the population a better chance of surviving changing conditions.
