    2. Drawing Stages of Meiosis
      1. Interphase
        1. Prophase
          1. Metaphase
            1. Anaphase
              1. Telophase
                1. Cytokinesis
                2. Separation of pairs of homologous chromosomes in the 1st division of meiosis

                          1. In 1922, the number of chromosomes counted in a human cell was 48
                            1. For what reasons do existing beliefs carry a certain inertia?
                          2. Genetic variation
                            1. Fusion of gametes
                              1. Crossing over
