of the genetic makeup of their offspring via sex cells or gametes. Gametes produced by the male parent through Spermatogenesis process are called spermatozoa (commonly called sperm cells) and gametes produced by females through Oogenesis process are called oocytes (commonly referred to as ova or eggs). As gametes are formed‚ the 46 chromosomes from each parent cell (23 pairs of chromosomes) are divided through meiosis so that each gamete is haploid‚ having only 23 unpaired chromosomes. Spermatozoa

So in the last unit we studied about chemical basis of life. Now just Focus for a moment on biology‘s subject‚ ‗life‘. All living things on earth are characterized by cellular organization‚ growth‚ reproduction‚ homeostasis and heredity. These characteristics define the term life. Then what is inheritance? Inheritance is something you possess from your ancestor and carried along‚ it may be any asset‚ money or anything but when we connect with the life what we will take from our parental generation

is governed by information ■ During gamete formation‚ chromosomes stored in discrete factors called genes. ■ Genes are transmitted from generation to generation on vehicles called chromosomes. ■ Chromosomes‚ which exist in pairs‚ provide are distributed according to postulates first described by Gregor Mendel‚ based on his nineteenth-century research with the garden pea. ■ Mendelian postulates prescribe that other segregating homologs during gamete formation. ■ Genetic ratios‚ expressed

sac. As development continues‚ the mass of cells differentiates to form the inner and outer integument that surrounds and protects the nucellus‚ but leaves a small opening called the micropyle. This opening is to allow male gametes to pass and interact with the female gamete (haploid egg cell) located in the embryo sac. Each anther contains four pollen sacs. Pollen grains develop inside each pollen sac that begins with a mass of large pollen mother cells in each sac that are all diploid. The wall

Male System The structure and function of the human male reproductive system‚ is very similar to that of many other mammals. The male system is designed to make sperm or male gametes and is adapted to provide for the delivery of these gametes to the female to allow for fertilization. Male Reproductive System Male Reproductive System Structures 1. testes -- produces sperm and the hormone testosterone 2. scrotum -- pouch enclosing the testes keeping the sperm at an optimum temperature

GAUTENG DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION SENIOR SECONDARY INTERVENTION PROGRAMME LIFE SCIENCES GRADE 12 SESSION 3 (LEARNER NOTES) Page 1 of 10 TOPIC 1: MENDEL’S 1ST LAW‚ SEX AND BLOOD GROUP DETERMINATION Learner Note: Mendel’s Laws are very important and you must understand the basic concepts of Genetics. You must understand the concepts of dominance and how this plays a role in monohybrid crosses (mono = one = one characteristic or trait). Be aware of confusing the word ‘cross/ crossing’ with ‘crossing

Homologous Chromosomes and Sister Chromatids (HC and SC): Clearly distinguish between HC and SC pairs. Your answer should include the following: a clear distinction between ‘chromatin’ and ‘chromosome’‚ and how this difference affects gene expression; simple line diagrams to illustrate the difference between non-replicated and replicated DNA inchromatin and chromosome forms; afull description of both HC and SC with a labeled diagram that includes gene/allele sequences for a heterozygote and ‘m’

of two separate‚ free-living organisms: a gametophyte (thallus (tissue) or plant)‚ which is genetically haploid‚ and a sporophyte (thallus or plant)‚ which is genetically diploid. A haploid plant of the gametophyte generation produces gametes by mitosis. Two gametes (originating from different organisms of the same species or from the same organism) combine to produce a zygote‚ which develops into a diploid plant of the sporophyte generation. This sporophyte produces spores by meiosis‚ which germinate

Daisy – Gene knockdown Purpose of genetic modification of dairy cattle Daisy the cow‚ a Genetically Engineered Cloned Cow‚ made using SCNT cloning and RNA interference‚ is able to produce milk without the protein β-lactoglobulin (BLG). BLG is an allergy causing protein which around 1 in 12 infants develop and allergic response to although most infants out grown their allergy. The BLG is not found in human breast milk and it is recognised by the body as foreign and causes allergies. Currently to
