Document Summary
One of several possible forms of a gene. a heterozygous genotype. a genetic disorder. Two alleles of a gene segregate from one another into the gametes. Two genes segregate from one another into the gametes. Half of the gametes carry one of the alleles and the other half of the gametes carry the second allele. The chromosomes of the mother and father undergo recombination to give unique genetic information to their offspring. The cells of the mother and father undergo meiosis which is a reductional division to give rise to a haploid egg and a haploid sperm. The specific combinations of the recombinant egg and sperm make each human genetically different. As a result of each step of division two cells are produced, one of which has a higher content of cytoplasm. Secondary oocyte contains joint sister chromatids from only one of the homologous chromosome. Primary oocyte contains tetrads where recomnination takes place.
