Answer 8

Significance of Meiosis

Question 9

in the biological sense, refers to an increase in body size usually because of an increase in the number of cells, a process achieved through mitotic divisions.

Answer 9

Growth

Question 10

Cells are usually limited by a certain number of times that they can divide before being too aged to further undergo mitosis. This limit is known as the

Answer 10

Hayflick limit.

Question 11

is when the homologous chromosomes in the tetrads exchange segments. This is an event during meiotic division that allows recombination of genes, and ultimately, enhances genetic variation.

Answer 11

Crossing over
