Cell Replication and DNA

Examining the molecular mechanisms of mitosis, meiosis, and DNA replication to ensure genetic fidelity.

Key Questions

  1. 1What are the consequences for an organism when the high fidelity of DNA replication fails?
  2. 2How does meiosis contribute to the vast phenotypic diversity observed within a single population?
  3. 3In what ways does the structure of DNA facilitate its own replication and storage of information?
