Mutation Variation of organisms occurs from linkages and crossing over. The Independent Assortment of Random Fusion of gametes also creates variation. Mutation will occur and new gametes or alter existing ones. What is mutation? Mutation is a permanent alteration of a genomic sequence. It may be divided into two categories: 1) Point/ Gene Mutation 2) Chromosomal Mutation Mutations may either be advantageous or disadvantageous and are not all inherently negative Point/ Gene Mutation

Prophase This answer can be found in the book on page 232‚ “Prophase – centrosomes move away from each other‚ propelled partly by the lengthening microtubules between them.” 4.) If cells in the process of dividing are subjected to colchicine‚ a drug that interferes with the formation of the mitotic spindle apparatus‚ at which stage will

A Roman Catholic monk‚ Gregor Mendel (1822-1884)‚ was raised on a farm and enjoyed gardening and mathematics. In 1856 he started to experiment with pea plants to explain why certain traits that appeared in one generation did not always reappear in the next generation. During eight years Mendel mixed over 30‚000 plants by controlling their pollination and wanted to know why the results came to be. Mendel noticed that although there were some traits that were common amongst all the pea plants there

is related to Meiosis and Fertilization -“Maple syrup urine disease is inherited in an autosomal recessive manner. At conception‚ each sib of an affected individual has a 25% chance of being affected‚ a 50% chance of being unaffected and a carrier‚ and a 25% chance of being unaffected and not a carrier. Once an at-risk sib is known to be unaffected‚ the risk of his/her being a carrier is 2/3”(Strauss). This represents a Monohybrid Cross. [pic]This relates to meiosis and fertilization

have the pistil which is the female part and the stamen for a male. Within the stamen is the anther and filament and the pistil contains the stigma‚ style and the ovary. Animals and plants have to go through mitosis and meiosis when reproducing. Animals and plants go through meiosis because both have sex cells and they go through mitosis to create more cells‚ so when people/plants/animals grow‚ it isn’t the number of cells‚ but the

Unit 2 Lecture Study Guide 1) What are the parts of an atom? Where are the subatomic particles found? The atoms are the smallest units of matter with their own chemical characteristics. The atoms are divided into 2 parts. The first part is the central nucleus and the electron cloud. The central nucleus contains very heavy particles and the electron cloud contains very light moving particles. The subatomic particles are the protons‚ neutrons‚ and the electrons. They are located

1. Understand the difference between the two types of leaves produced by pines‚ and how pine leaves differ from those of other conifers. 2. Know the life cycle of a pine tree‚ and be able to indicate within the life cycle where events such as meiosis‚ fusion of gametes‚ development of an embryo‚ and production of sperms take place. 3. Understand the differences between male (pollen) and female (seed) pine cones. 4. Know the locations and functions of a pine micropyle‚ integument‚ pollen chamber
