factors that cause Down syndrome. The human contains 23 pairs of chromosomes‚ so 46 individual ones. From each pair‚ one comes from your father‚ the other‚ from your mother. Down syndrome involves an abnormal cell division in chromosome 21. There are three types of abnormal cell division that can occur to cause Down syndrome; all of the three cell division abnormalities create a problem being extra genetic material from chromosome 21. The three genetic variations that cause Down syndrome are translocation

DNA is a self-replicating material that is in almost all living organisms as the main part of chromosomes. Ribonucleic acid or RNA is a nucleic acid that is in all living cells. Its main role is to act as a messenger carrying instructions from DNA for controlling the synthesis of proteins. A mutation is a part of your genetic code that is changed. So

about “meiosis”? Select all that apply. Answers: Reproductive cells undergo meiosis Non-germ cells are reproduced Red blood cells undergo meiosis Number of chromosomes reduces by half in phase one Cell divides to produce four daughter cells Response Feedback: Meiosis occurs only in replicating gametes or reproducing cells. In phase one‚ the number of chromosomes is reduced by half but the chromatid pairs remain together. In phase two‚ the chromatids split apart forming four daughter cells. Non-germ cells

Pre-Reading Notes (Very Short Introduction - Chapter 5; Fundamentals of Forensic Science – Chapter 11): • Red and white cell blood antigens are polymorphic: they exist in more than one form and everyone inherits one or more forms of each of them • A successful DNA profile makes it possible to reach a conclusion that a DNA sample came from a specific individual‚ giving law enforcement and forensic science a new‚ powerful identification tool that complements fingerprints and other methods of identification

Prophase I Early Prophase I D.N.A coils tightly and individual chromosomes become visible as single structures Homologous chromosomes become associated in synapsis. Each pair of chromosome is called a bivalent. Centrioles divide and move to the opposite poles of the cell‚ and spindles start to form Late Prophase I The bivalents duplicate to form tetrads (four-chromatid groups).The nuclear membrane disintegrates. Chromosomes join at points called chiasmata where crossing over takes place.

cytologist Pierre-Joseph van Beneden discovered that the gametes of the roundworm Ascaris contained two chromosomes while somatic cells contained four. B. Fertilization 1. van Beneden proposed in 1887 that an egg and sperm could fuse to form a zygote. 2. The fusion of gametes is called fertilization or syngamy. C. Meiosis 1. A reduction division is required to reduce the number of chromosomes to half so sexual reproduction can occur. 2. This reduction division is known as meiosis. D. The Sexual

The history of fruit flies is considered a tradition. Research of these flies initially entered labs 100 years ago. Thomas Hunt Morgan‚ who lived from 1866 to 1945‚ was the founder of drosophila genetics. Thomas preformed his research in Morgan lab at the Columbia University in 1910. Here was when they found a famous mutation‚ know as the white-eyed fly. Quite an accomplishment was this discovery‚ but the end of the 1980’s there were 3‚000+-recorded mutations. Now drosophila is very popular; so popular
