Or each chromosome of a pair can be individually picked. 16. Explain two ways in which children can have different chromosomes (gene variation) than their mother or father. Random separation of chromosomes (law of segregation) when forming sperm/ova during anaphase I, crossing over of some genes to the homologous chromosomes during prophase I, and mutation during S
Which sex cells join together during fertilization is a random process. New combinations of genes occur, producing genetic variation 2. During meiosis, chromosome pairs sort themselves independently and randomly (this is called random segregation). This produces genetic variation also. 3.
Therefore the purpose of meiosis is to produce gametes; the sperm and eggs. 3. In what ways is meiosis different from mitosis? Be thorough. Comparison chart | Meiosis | Mitosis | Definition: | A type of cellular reproduction in which the number of chromosomes are reduced by half through the separation of homologous chromosomes in a diploid cell.
Mitosis is the step during which the cell’s nucleus divides into two new nuclei. During mitosis, one copy of the DNA is distributed into each of the two daughter cells. Scientists divide mitosis into four parts (phases): prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase. During prophase, the thread-like chromatin in the nucleus condenses to form double-rod structures called chromosomes. During metaphase, the chromosomes line up across the center of the cell.
In the first mutation of the CYP2C9 gene described in Henry’s story, the 1075th nucleotide had changed from an adenine (A) to a cytosine (C). This mutation converts an ATT triplet code in the coding strand of the DNA molecule to CTT. Beginning with this triplet code on the DNA, describe the effect that this change would have on the following: a. The nucleotide sequence on the template strand of the gene. GAA b.
Human Development 101 PART 1 CHAPTER 3 OUTLINE A. Defining Heredity and Environment a. The transmission of genetic characters from parents to offspring: it is dependent upon the segregation and recombination of genes during meiosis and fertilization and results in the genesis of a new individual similar to others of its kind but exhibiting certain variations resulting from the particular mix of genes and their interactions with the environment. b. The genetic code: The genetic code by which DNA stores the genetic information consists of "condos" of three nucleotides.

DNA ligase goes over all the small Okazaki segments and binds them into a new strand of DNA. 5. DNA polymerase replaces the RNA primer and DNA ligase binds the segments. (Hank, 2013) mRNA Transcription (slide 4) 1. mRNA 2. DNA (Hank, 2013) mRNA Transcription (slide 5) 1.
These sister chromatids are then separated in anaphase as the spindle microtubules attaches to centromere and pulls the sister chromatids to opposite poles. As the sister chromatids separate they are called chromosomes. This means that each pole has the same chromosomes (same genetic material). Finally the microtubules break down, the chromosomes uncoil and the nuclear membrane reforms. The cell then divides into two daughter cells with genetically identical
