Mitosis is a process of cell duplication‚ or reproduction‚ where one during this process gives growth to two identical daughter cells; however‚ there is no crossing over. Mitosis is asexual and has 1 division of the nucleus in cytokinesis (Simon‚ Reece‚ & Dickey‚ 2010). Meiosis is the splitting up of germ cells‚ with each possessing half the number of & Dickey‚ 2010). Meiosis is sexual and has 2 nuclear and cytoplasmic divisions. However‚ one must remember they both are preceded by Interphase

Abortion as a Human Right Throughout history‚ induced abortions have been a source of considerable debate and controversy. An individual’s personal stance on the complex ethical‚ moral‚ and legal issues has a strong relationship with the given individual’s value system. A person’s position on abortion may be described as a combination of their personal beliefs on the morality of induced abortion and the ethical limit of the government’s legitimate authority. It is a woman’s individual rights‚ right

fetal stage. Examine the cards below to learn more about these stages: Prenatal Stages—Text Version The Germinal Stage (Weeks 1 and 2) The germinal stage begins when male sperm cell fertilizes the female egg. Fertilized egg (known as a zygote) is formed. Zygote (a fertilized egg cell) divides into two cells‚ and those cells continue to multiply. Cell division continues at a rapid rate and develops into a blastocyst (structure during embryonic development that contains cells which create the embryo)

for return to pluripotency and for lineage commitment. In mammals‚ the genomes of mature sperm cells and egg remain highly methylated until fertilization. During pre-implantation development‚ a second round of demethylation takes place in the zygote‚ occuring at different rates in the two parental genomes. Demethylation of the paternal genome- occurs after fertilization but before cell division‚ it is more rapid than in the maternal genome‚ and involves an active mechanism. Demethylation

Because they are grouped in the same kingdom‚ the nine animal phyla share the same fundamental characteristics- they are multicellular‚ heterotrophic eukaryotes that obtain nutrients through ingestion‚ they lack cell walls‚ they have nervous tissue and muscle tissue‚ and they reproduce sexually and have a unique embryonic life cycle. However‚ the animal phyla have a great number of differences as well. Some are visible to the naked eye‚ while others are less obvious‚ and still more cannot even be

CHAPTER 13 OBJECTIVES The Basis of Heredity 1. Explain in general terms how traits are transmitted from parents to offspring. An organism’s traits and appearance are controlled by specific forms of proteins contained in DNA. When gametes are formed‚ the male and female parents pass along their DNA into their respective gametes. Fertilization fuses the gametes and combines the genetic contribution of each parent into the new offspring. 2. Distinguish between asexual and sexual reproduction

nucleus but a small amount of DNA can also be found in the mitochondria. 4) How long is the germinal stage? Explain what happens in this stage. The germinal stage lasts only about 2 weeks. Within just a few hours after conception‚ the single-celled zygote begins making a journey down the fallopian tube to the uterus where it will begin the process of cell division and growth. 5) How can pregnancy be detected? What hormones play a significant role in this? You can detect pregnancy by certain symptoms

reversed. The true definition of man or woman lies within the chromosomes‚ a woman has a pair of chromosomes that are XX‚ men’s chromosomes are XY. Once a sperm cell penetrates the egg wall the chromosomes of both the man and woman merge to give the zygote the 23 chromosomes needed to form human life. The sperm is responsible for determining the gender of the baby; all eggs produced by the ovaries all contain an X chromosome. In some rare cases additional chromosomes can

produces a mature egg. Women are born with all the immature eggs they will ever have‚ while men develop sperm at puberty. One sperm penetrates the protective layer of the egg and the nuclei fuse into one. Fertilized eggs are called zygotes. 10 days after conception‚ the zygote attaches to the mother’s uterus‚ the zygote’s inner cells become the embryo‚ organs begin to form and function‚ and the heart starts beating. By 9 weeks after conception‚ the embryo looks unmistakably human. It is now called a
