Mitosis and meiosis are essential for the growth, development, and reproduction of organisms. Because these processes are essential to life, both are emphasized in biology texts, state standards, and the National Science Education Standards. By the time most students complete a high school biology course, mitosis and meiosis have been presented to them in two or three different classes. In addition, some high school students elect to take upper level biology courses in which they revisit mitosis and meiosis. With this relatively high level of ...
