What you will learn in Dividing
1. The cycle, to scale
What fraction of a cell's life is spent dividing, computed from hours.
2. Mitosis
Two counters through a division, and the moment each one doubles.
3. Meiosis, and where variation comes from
Three sources of variation, each switchable, and the number that survives when one is off.
4. Where the ratios come from
Mendel's laws derived from chromosome behaviour rather than stated.
5. When control fails
Three checkpoints in series, and why one failure is not enough.
