Meiosis

Answer 3

Mitosis but splits twice without reproducing another set of DNA giving two haploids

Question 4

Answer 5

A cell with two sets of chromosomes to make a full set of chromosomes
(46 with humans)

Question 6

Question 12

Embryo Screening

Answer 12

Amniocentesis -
15-16 weeks pregnancy takes fluid from around
embryo for Genetic material
Chorinic Villus
10-12 weeks in pregnancy takes small cell sample of
cells from the placenta

Question 13

Embryo Screening Risks + concerns

Answer 13

can give false positives and negatives and therefore wrongly destroyed embryos
Could give the ability to select characteristics intelligence and height (superior race)
