GIVE AN ACCOUNT OF THE ROLES OF GENETIC MUTATIONS AND MEIOSIS IN GENERATING GENETIC DIVERSITY (20) Marking Scheme Synopsis‚ Clarity‚ English Language‚ sequence of events (3) Introduction (1)‚ Scientific content (15)‚ Conclusion (1). Introduction: Genetic Diversity: Every individual has a unique genotype. This is equal to the combination of alleles of all its genes. The greater the number of genotypes in a population‚ the greater the genetic diversity. Genetic mutations produce new alleles of

1. Genetic cloning is one way of studying the specific proteins involved in cell division. A gene contains the instructions for how to make a protein. By mutating a gene‚ the protein’s shape‚ size and function could all be affected. Mutating a gene changes its instructions. Once a mutated gene is created and incorporated into a cell’s DNA‚ the cell replicates‚ creating many cells containing the mutant gene. The cells with the changed gene can then be compared to normal cells. For starters‚ you must

Mendelian Genetics * Pea plants have several advantages for genetics. * Pea plants are available in many varieties with distinct heritable features (characters) with different variants (traits). * Another advantage of peas is that Mendel had strict control over which plants mated with which. * Each pea plant has male (stamens) and female (carpal) sexual organs. * In nature‚ pea plants typically self-fertilize‚ fertilizing ova with their own sperm.

membrane regulates the movement of water‚ nutrients and wastes into and out of the cell. Inside of the cell membrane are the working parts of the cell. At the center of the cell is the cell nucleus. The cell nucleus contains the cell’s DNA‚ the genetic code that coordinates protein synthesis. In addition to the nucleus‚ there are many organelles inside of the cell - small structures that help carry out the day-to-day operations of the cell. One important cellular organelle is the ribosome. Ribosomes

over 6‚000 genetic disease disorders affecting babies and children every day. How do we prevent this from occurring in the next generation? The answer is genetic mutations. Genetic mutations are when you alter a certain gene that could cause a disease such as Cystic Fibrosis or Down Syndrome. However‚ this isn’t always the case. Besides only using the advanced technology‚ many people are interested in limiting pain and increasing intelligence in tomorrow’s youth. In my opinion‚ genetic mutations
