alteration causes this syndrome (deletion‚ inversion‚ etc.)? Explain how it happens during the process of meiosis. Williams Syndrome is caused by a deletion of genes in the Williams-Beuren region of chromosome 7; when deletions occur during the formation of the egg and sperm‚ it is caused by unequal recombination during meiosis. Recombination normally occurs between pairs of chromosomes during meiosis while they are lined up at the metaphase plate. If the pairs of chromosomes don’t line up correctly‚

section 30 October 2012 Sordaria Lab Meiosis and genetic diversity in the model organism‚ Sordaria Introduction Meiosis is a process in which a cell divides to form four haploid (1N) cells. The Sordaria lab is a perfect way to see an example of how meiosis impacts the life of an organism. Meiosis can be broken down into parts that contain a few stages. These stages are similar to that in Mitosis (Prophase‚ Metaphase‚ Anaphase‚ and telaphase.) during Meiosis I‚ crossing over and independent assortment

North Facing Side (NFS). This extreme sun exposure causes the South slope to have drought and arid conditions whereas the North side has more temperate conditions and is shady and humid. The model‚ Sordaria fimicola‚ reproduces through the process of Meiosis and their chromosomes cross over in Prophase I (Stern). S. fimicola have different crossover frequencies between the slopes in Evolution Canyon; there are higher crossover frequencies on the SFS compared to the NFS. One possible explanation of this

This paper will first describe the structure of DNA; second discuss how the structure of DNA allows it to serve as the basis for inheritance‚ third examine how meiosis allows DNA to be divided into gametes and finally‚ describe how this relates to Gregor Mendel’s patterns of inheritance. The structure of DNA DNA is a thread formed by two strands‚ related together to form a Double Helix. The Double Helix looks

Chapter 6 Explain what free energy is and how it can be used to predict the energetic outcome of chemical reactions.Free energy is defined as the energy available to do work in any system. The free energy is denoted by the symbol G. G = H – TS* H: the energy contained in a molecule’s chemical bonds‚ called enthalpy.* TS: the energy term related to the degree of disorder in the system. T is the absolute temperature (K)‚ and S is the entropy.We can use the change in free energy to predict whether

Unit 2 Lecture Study Guide – 1) What are the parts of an atom? Where are the subatomic particles found? a) Protons‚ neutrons‚ and electrons b) Protons and neutrons are located in the center of an atom in the nucleus and the electrons are located around the nucleus. 2) How does the Atomic Mass # differ from the Atomic #? The atomic mass number is the sum of the number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus of an element and the atomic number is the number of protons that it has. 3)

Chapter 12 (Part 2) Explain the principle of independent assortment and its relation to meiosis: The segregation of chromosomes in anaphase I of meiosis explains Mendel’s observation that each parent gives one allele for each trait at random to each offspring‚ regardless of whether the allele is expressed. The segregation of chromosomes at random during anaphase I explains Mendel’s observation that factors‚ or genes‚ for different traits are inherited independently of each other. Apply the

March 2017 Natural Selection Explanation A species is a group of individuals that produces fertile offspring. A population is a group of the same organisms or species. The main source of genetic variation is meiosis. Within meiosis‚ fertilization occurs and creates variation. Within meiosis‚ although it is rare‚ mutations happen which can be also a source of variation. Gene flow‚ the movement of genes within multiple populations is another source of variation as well. Variation plays the role of
