47 views2 pages

Document Summary

Each cell defines by its pattern of gene expression (synthesis) Gene replication: small part of the gene used to create a protein. Dna replication: the entire cell is replicated to create a whole new cell. Karyotype: all the chromosomes we have in our cells. Arranged in 22 homologous pairs (non sex cells) and 1 different pair (sex cells) diploid number: 46 chromosomes produced by mitosis haploid number: 23 chromosomes produced by meiosis. Sex cells are haploid cells (eg. oocytes, egg, sperm, gametes, germ cells) 23 chromosomes. Haploid cell + haploid cell = diploid cell (sperm + egg = zygote) 46 chromosomes turn to 23 chromosomes (diploid to haploid) Crossing over occurs (different to parents) parts of chromosomes swap from maternal to paternal cells genetic variation: metaphase i. Random orientation of homologous pairs (reassortment of maternal and paternal chromosomes: anaphase i. Daughter nuclei created with 23 chromosomes: interphase ii. Brief, no replication of dna: prophase ii.
