Random Fertilization as a Source of Genetic Variation
This video presents the same text shown beside it, spoken and on screen. It adds nothing the text does not say.
State
Random fertilization combines one of many possible gametes from each parent, multiplying the genetic variation crossing over and independent assortment already produced.
Show
Two parents each capable of over eight million distinct gametes can produce a zygote drawn from over seventy trillion combinations.
Watch for
Random fertilization multiplies variation meiosis already generated — it is not itself a meiotic event.
