How does genetic information get passed down from generation to generation
Mitosis meiosis through dna reproductive cells conjugation bridges and adaptations
What is the value of variety
Harder to spread diseases everyone is unique in their own way and a genetic disorder doesn't have to affect everyone
dna is what
Deoxy ribonucleic acid can be seen in different forms
Chromatin
String like form of dna
Chromatid
Half of a chromosome and contains all dna necessary for that chromosome
Chromosome
X shape nr2 identical chromatid joined together by a centromere
Gene
A specific part or sequence of dna that codes for a particular trait example hair colour eye colour blood type e.t.c
loci
Location of a gene
Asexual reproduction
Copies and clowns and producing offspring genetically identical to parent and mostunicellular organisms reproduce asexually
Budding
new organism from a growth on the body of an organism
Fragmentation
Are part of an organism brakes off and continues growing independently
Mitosis
Eukaryotic cells divide equally into two new nuclear
Cytokinesis
The rest of the cell divides its natural organs amongst the two new cells
Interphase
When a cell grows repairs itself and prepares to divide and once the cell cell gets a signal to divide the dna make a copy of itself inside the nucleus
Prophase
Chromatin shortens and thickens into chromosomes. Centrioles migrate to opposite poles and spindle fibres attached to the centromere chromosomes . And the nuclear membrane dissolves
Metaphase
Spindle fibres move and align chromosomes a long the equator of the cell
Anaphase
Centromere divide and sister chromatids move to opposite poles of the cell
Telophase
Chromatic kids have reached the opposite poles. Chromatids unravel into chromatin and spindle fibres dissolve
Cloning
The process affirming identical offspring from a single cell or tissue
Biotechnology
Use and modification of organisms for applications in engineering industry and medicine
Gametes
a sex cell inhumans is a sperm and egg half the genetic material than a somatic cell
Somatic
Any other cell in your body except sex cells
Zygote
Fertilised gamete when a sperm meets egg
Haploid
Half the genetic material 23 chromosomes in humans
Diploid
Full set of dna 46 chromosomes
Meiosis
The process of producing gametes 2 cycles to complete meiosis1 and meiosis 2
homologous chromosomes
Same location matching pairs of chromosomes similar in size and carrying the same genes
meiosis1
End result will be two cells with half the number of chromosomes and a separation of homologous chromosomes
Prophase 1
Chromatin shortens and thickens forming chromosomes. homologous chromosomes form a tetrad, nuclear membrane dissolves, and spindle fibres start to form
Metaphase 1
Spindle fibres attach to chromosomes temple tetrad to the equator as pairs
Anaphase 1
homologous chromosomes separate to different poles by spindle fibres. They are not, ted's there still chromosomes
Telophase between meiosis 1 and meiosis 2
Spindle fibres disintegrate a nuclear membrane reforms. Chromosomes and rolanda, 10 and cytokinesis occurs in a cell pinches and cytoplasmic organelles are divided
Prophase 2
Chromatin shortens and lengthens nuclear membrane dissolves and Centrioles migrate to poles and spindle fibres begin to form
metaphase 2
Chromosomes are pulled to equator by spindle fibres attached to centromere
Anaphase 2
Centromeres split pulling sister chromatids to opposite poles
Telophase 2
Nuclear membrane reforms around each step of chromatin spindle fibres disintegrate and chromatid unravel into chromatin
Tresomy
a chromosomeal abnormality with 3 homologous chromosomes instead of the typical pair
Monomy
a chromosomal abnormality with a single chromosome instead of a typical pair
non disjunction
The failure of homologous chromosomes to separate and proceed to up support during cell division and the result is that one cell has too many chromosomes in one cell has to few n both results pose problems for the offspring
Atypical meiosis
A cell division does not always a car properly sometimes the chromosomes do not divide evenly into the forming cells nso marcel the damage is minimal but the cell is replaced by other property sales in a sec southend the damage is profound because each cell in the new organism will have the incorrect number of chromosomes
Karyotype
Chromosomes of an individual that have been sorted and arranged according to size and type
autosome
Non sex chromosomes
Gametogenesis
The formation of sex cells
Difference between sperm and ovum
sperm, male gametes produced in the testis have negligible amount of cytoplasm and nucleus is compact built for speed. Ovum, female gamete produced in the ovary have bulky cytoplasm and a centrally located nucleus produced singly
