Document Summary

Unequal recombination can generate copy number variations (cnv: crossing over occurs between homologous chromatids during prophase 1 of meiosis. Normally crossing-over occurs at the exact same point on each homolog and result in recombinant chromosomes after meiosis that have the same number of genes in each homolog. Chromosomes can line up improperly: product has a duplication or deleted. Hox gene family: duplication and divergence: hox gene has duplicated many times in a beneficial way, that allowed humans to be more complex. How does life achieve meiotic combination: sex. Zygote bring dna from 2 different parents into the same cell: homologous, 1 set from each parent. Homologous chromosomes carry the same genes, but different alleles: all chromosomes look the same (chromosomes 13 will always have the same order of alleles, but just different alleles) In meiosis 1, chromosomes number is reduced from diploid to haploid: homologous pairs line up in metaphase 1, and split.
