Background DNA is an abbreviation for deoxyribonucleic acid‚ but it is usually known by its initials alone. DNA is found in practically all living organisms‚ and it is now known to carry genetic information from one cell to the next‚ and from one generation to the next. The units of inheritance‚ called genes‚ are actually sections of the DNA molecule. Nuclei of the cells of higher organisms contain thread-like bodies called chromosomes‚ which consist of DNA‚ wrapped around proteins. So understanding how

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS SECTION A: SIMILARITIES‚ DIFFERENCES‚ AND DEFINITIONS Gametes are mature haploid reproductive cells that unite to form a zygote that develops into a new individual. Gametes are also called sex cells. An egg or ovum is a haploid female reproductive cell or gamete whereas a sperm is a male haploid reproductive cell. A zygote is the initial cell that is formed as a result of the union of a male and a female gamete by means of sexual reproduction. The two haploid cells merge

has non-disjunction and therefore two X chromosomes in it after going through the entire process of meiosis. If that egg is then fertilized by a sperm with an X chromosome from the father this would result in the XXX Triple-X syndrome. c. This syndrome can only be held “responsible” to both the parents chromosome contributions. The mother could achieve nondisjunction anywhere throughout meiosis to achieve the double XX chromosome in one of the final egg gametes. The father if had nondisjunction

had explained the same result 35 years go. Resistance remained about Mendels laws until evidence had supported it. Chromosoems and genes are both present in pairs of diploid cells. Homologous chromosomes separate and alleles segregate during meiosis. Fertilization restores the paired condition for both chromosomes and genes. Around 1902‚ the chromosome theory of inheritance began to take form. Thomas Hunt Morgan was the first t associate a specific gene with a specific chromosome in the
