Document Summary

Chromosome theory of inheritance chromosomes are carriers of genes. Mitosis cell division resulting in 2 identical daughter cells w full genetic information. Meiosis cell division resulting in 2 gametes haploid cells with half genetic information. During metaphase chromosome structure can be observed. Chromosomes consist of 2 identical sister chromatids attached at a centromere. Metacentric connected near middle; acrocentric connected near one end. Homologous chromosomes chromosomes that match in size/shape/banding. In humans f=x m=y; all humans (should) have at least one x from mother, second. Sex chromosomes chromosomes that determine sex of offspring chromosome from father determines sex. Sex chromosomes/determining mechanisms vary greatly between species. Heterogametic sex having 2 different sex chromosomes. Criss cross inheritance male inherit from maternal; female inherit from paternal. Hemizygous individuals have half the number of alleles (ie male has one female has 2) Nondisjunction failure of separation of chromosomes during meiosis. Sex-influence traits traits showing up in both sexes with different effects.
