Lab 12: Meiosis kimberleigh Lewis Biology 1408-63400 Consider the Concepts Experiment: 1. A common misconception about meiosis appears when students identify which of the two divisions converts a diploid cell into two haploid cells. Meiosis I is the division immediately following DNA replication and replication does not occur again before meiosis II. However‚ meiosis I is the "reduction" division when a diploid cell forms two haploid cells. If the DNA duplicated before meiosis I‚ how

Gene Splicing What Is It? Gene Splicing is one type of genetic technology. It is the process of taking pieces of DNA from one or more organisms then combining them into another DNA strand to create new DNA or recombinant DNA. How does it Work? Chemicals called restriction enzymes are used as scissors to cut the DNA. Thousands of these restriction enzymes exist‚ each recognizing only a single sequence of DNA. Once it finds that sequence in a strand of DNA‚ it attacks it and splits the base pairs

Modern methods of transport have transformed our world into a village. Is this a blessing or a curse? In some respects the topic-statement is true. Modern transport‚ especially by air‚ allows people to circle the globe in a few days‚ or hours‚ if an aircraft such as Concorde is used. Thus we have learnt to look upon distance as nothing. I can get to Paris from south-east England quicker than I can get to central London. So‚ the world has become a village? If so‚ the comparison ends there
