Q
what are the stages of mitosis?
A
chromosomes condescend in nucleus and centriole is visable at top of cell
- chromosome replication, number of chromosomes remains same but cell content of DNA has doubled
- nucleus disintegrates,chromosomes can move around the cell, centrioles move to opposite side of cell. centrioles are attached to centromeres from the spindle fibres
- all 46 chromosomes line up along the equator. centrioles and spindle fibres are still attached.
- spindle fibres start to contract, they shorten, pulling the identical sister chromosomes apart (in half again) then the chromatids move towards the centrioles
- nuclear membrane forms around the separated chromosomes now both new cells have a nucleus and their DNA becomes more loosely coiled. 2 new nucleus are formed (each one contains 4 chromosomes, 2 sets of 2 (2 the same color and 2 the same color) and has the same complement as the original parent cell. cytoplasm divides into 2 to produce the daughter cells which are identical
cytoplasm begins to divide so 2 new cells can form. the 2 new cells will be smaller than the mother cell but will grow

Q
what is genetic profiling?
A
used to identify an individual from a sample of DNA by looking at unique patterns in the DNA sequence
3
Q
what are 2 pros and 2 cons of genetic profiling
A
pros
can be used to identify genetic disorders early
can be used to place suspects at a crime
cons
storage of DNA profiles can be seen as an invasion of privacy
DNA could get planted at a crime seen giving false evidence when your innocent
