DESCRIBE the process of fertilization.
What is one sperm with half the DNA of the father combines with one egg that contains half the DNA of the mother to create one new cell with a full amount of DNA that is genetically unique.

BONUS: These are TWO ways that meiosis helps to create genetic variability.
What is it creates cells with only half the DNA (that contain different alleles), crossing over can occur to swap genes to create unique chromosomes.
