Which of the following is most likely to occur when a tumor-suppressor gene is mutated? - The tumor-suppressor gene and resulting protein may lose its function and ability to suppress cell proliferation. Mutations can produce a polypeptide with increased function. - TRUE ________can convert proto-oncogenes into oncogenes. - Nonsense mutations Most human embryos that are aneuploidy - are spontaneously aborted in the first trimester. Horses and donkeys are closely related species that can

these deviations. The tendency of the loci on the same chromosome to remain linked together during meiosis and gametogenesis is referred to as linkage. Autosomal linkage : the loci are on the same chromosome‚ affecting the phenotypic and genotypic ratios of the offspring. Recombination can affect linkage by separating the two parental loci‚ this occurs during Prophase I of Meiosis. In sex linked ( X linked ) inheritance‚ alleles on sex chromosomes are inherited in predicable patterns

Chapter 8 Vocabulary- Marisa Brueggemann anaphase- Anaphase is the stage of a cell division (mitosis or meiosis) when the chromatids (or homologous chromosomes in meiosis one) are separated and start to move away from each other. anchorage dependence- In order for a cell to resume its divisions it must be touching something else. asexual reproduction- New cells are generated through the process of mitosis (or binary fusion in the case of bacteria). These new daughter are exactly the same as

ASEXUAL REPRODUCTION Asexual reproduction is a mode of reproduction by which offspring arise from a single parent‚ and inherit the genes of that parent only; it is reproduction which does not involve meiosis‚ ploidy reduction‚ or fertilization. The offspring will be exact genetic copies of the parent. A more stringent definition is agamogenesis which is reproduction without the fusion of gametes. Asexual reproduction is the primary form of reproduction for single-celled organisms such as the archaea

Main article: Evolution of sexual reproduction It is considered that sexual reproduction in eukaryotes first appeared about a billion years ago and evolved within ancestral single-celled eukaryotes.[2] The reason for the initial evolution of sex‚ and the reason(s) it has survived to the present‚ are still matters of debate. Some of the many plausible theories include: that sex creates variation among offspring‚ sex helps in the spread of advantageous traits‚ that sex helps in the removal of disadvantageous

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 over’ in Meiosis. You cross individuals and calculate the chances of a characteristic or trait being in the offspring. “Crossing over’ takes place in Meiosis during prophase where pieces of chromosomes cross over from the male chromosomes to the female chromosomes to ensure a mix of the characteristics in the offspring. You must be

segregation evidently supports Mendel’s phenotypic ratios. Subsequently the physical foundation of Mendel’s Law of Segregation is the primary division of the meiosis where the homologous chromosomes with their dissimilar versions of the individual gene are segregated into an offspring nuclei. The behavior of the homologous chromosomes during meiosis accounts for the isolation of the alleles at each genetic locus to different gametes. On the other hand‚ Mandel supported the evidence through the law of
