Q

What causes the traits of parents to show up in their offspring?

A

Parents passed jeans to their offspring by dictating the production of messenger. RNA is to the gene program cells to make specific enzymes and other proteins who is cumulative action, produces an individuals inherited traits.

Q

Describe how an asexually reproducing eukaryotic organism produces offsprings are genetically identical to each other, and their parents

A

organisms reproduce by mitosis, which generates offsprings whose genomes are exact copies of the parents genome

Q

Using shoes as an analogy for chromosomes, how would you describe the collection of shoes in a human diploid and haploid cells?

A

A human diploid would have 23 pairs of shoes.
A haploid cell would have 23 shoes

Q

Compare the chromosomes in a cell at metaphase of Mitosis with those in a cell at metaphase two

A

The chromosomes are similar in that each is composed of two sister chromatids, and the individual chromosomes are positioned similar at the metaphase plate.
The chromosomes differ, and that in a mitotically dividing cells sister chromatids of each chromosome are genetically identical, but in a meiotically, dividing cells, sister chromatids are genetically distinct, because of crossing over in meiosis one.

Q

What would be the source of genetic diversity in the gametes if chromosomes are not sorted independently?

A

Crossing over between homologous chromosomes would provide genetic diversity.

Q

The diploid number of fruit flies is eight and the diploid number for grasshoppers is 46, if no crossing over, took place with the genetic variation of months of spring for a given pair of parents be creature in fruit flies or grasshoppers explain?

A

Grasshoppers would be expected to produce a greater variety of psychosis than fruit fly

Q

If all chromosomes in a gamete was shortened to have their lengths, how was the genetic diversity resulting from crossing over get affected?

A

Chromosome synapse at various points along the links for crossing over shortening of chromosomes made a Christian a diverse isn’t the number of points along a chromosome for synapses in crossing over occur will be reduced
