How did the info in my DNA become my traits? This is a question that has been asked by many over the course of history.To answer this question we need to answer three essential questions‚ the first‚ how did we get our DNA‚ how did we go form one cell to trillions‚ and how did DNA become our traits. There is one essential driver to all of this‚ DNA‚ to understand DNA‚ we need to know what DNA is. DNA is two strands that contain genetic information in four bases‚ adenine‚ guanine‚ cytosine and thymine

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

means of meiosis‚ distinctly cyclic event that normally releases one egg each month‚ accompanied by cyclic changes in hormone secretion‚ and cyclic changes in histological structure of the ovaries and uterus. Egg development resumes in adolescence. Embryonic development of ovary: female germ cells arise from yolk sac‚ colonize gonadal ridges the first 5 to 6 weeks of development‚ differentiate into oogonia and multiply until the fifth month‚ transform into primary oocytes: early meiosis I‚ most degenerate

CHAPTER 2: CELLS Learning about disease is often simplified by growing it in a dish – some cells like heart and nerve cells however do not grow easily outside the body. Cellular reprogramming takes cell back to a state similar to stem cells and then coaxes them to specialize in a different way. Example – LEOPARD syndrome MIM 151100. Acronym for symptoms: enlarged heart w/blocked valves to the lungs‚ freckles‚ abnormal genitals‚ deafness. Skin cells taken from patients were reprogrammed to give

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

Topic—Pesticide Effects‚ Meiosis‚ Yield Context This study investigate the effects of common pesticides‚ “Rogor”‚ “Duphar”‚ and “IPC” (o-isopropyl-N-phenyl carbamate)‚ on Vicia faba‚ also known as the broad bean. The objectives of this study were to determine the effects of three different pesticides on 1) meiosis‚ 2) pollen viability‚ 3) and the yield and root-mitosis of Vicia faba plants for three generations.
