Biology lessons in Salcombe typically cost £15/h per session.

This rate can vary based on several factors:

• The student's level (KS3, GCSE, A-Level, or university)
• The tutor's qualifications and experience

The key distinction: mitosis maintains the full chromosome count (diploid), whereas meiosis halves it (haploid) to prepare for fertilisation.

• Mitosis results in two diploid cells that are genetically identical to the original
• Meiosis creates sperm and egg cells that combine during fertilisation to restore the full chromosome number
• Genetic variation occurs in meiosis through crossing over and independent assortment, making each gamete unique

Understanding this distinction is crucial for genetics, reproduction and evolution questions in your exams.
