1. EQ: What are the similarities and differences of the outcomes of mitosis and meiosis?
Standard: recognize the significance of meiosis to sexual reproduction. [BIO.6G]
describe the stages of the cell cycle, including deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) replication and mitosis, and the importance of the cell cycle to the growth of organisms. [BIO.5A]
