1. How diverse was your list? # of species?
2. How is there so much variation?
3. Why are these organisms not all genetically identical?

Task 3
One of the biggest sources of that variation, besides mutations, is the sexual reproduction. Sexual reproduction is possible because of a process called meiosis.

Tactile: Go to Table 5 and act out the stages of meiosis with the manipulatives found at the table. Be sure to notify Mrs. Folks so she can check your progress.
