Q

Describe asexual reproduction

A

It requires only one parent due to gametes not being fused and genetic material not being mixed. This means offspring produced or genetically identical to the parent.

Q

Describe sexual reproduction

A

Two parents are needed. The nuclei of male and female Gammys are fused to create a zygote this is called fertilisation. Gametes contain half the number of chromosomes (haploid). Female a male gait combined to create all the chromosomes (diploid) and a human embryo

Q

Describe the process of meiosis

A

Copies of genetic information are made, the cell divides twice to form four gait each with a single set of chromosomes and each Gamete are genetically different

Q

What do human genomes enable us to do?

A

Search for genes linked to different types of disease, understand inherited disorders and their treatment and trace human migration patterns from the past
