ANTH 1001 Chapter : History Of Evolutionary Thought + Mitosis/Meiosis
Document Summary
Georges cuvier 1769-1832: comparative anatomist, disagreed with lamarck on theory of change within species cuvier was a creationist. Those organisms with favorable traits will survive and produce more offspring than those. Over time, there will be an increase in the frequency of the favorable traits. Mitosis: definitions, homologous chromosomes: pair of chromosomes with the same sequence of genes, chromatids: identical strands of dna, centromere: constricted portion of chromosome that holds two chromatids together temporarily, phases. 5: ultimate function of mitosis: production of daughter cells that are genetically identical to the parent cell. Meiosis: produces sex cells (gametes, function: to produce sex cells to transmit chromosomes / genetic information from parent to offspring, phases. Interphase: chromosomes duplicate, prophase i, homologous chromosomes pair with one another. Genetically different daughter cells other daughter cells from parent and daughter cells. Exact duplication from (virtually) infinite genetic parent to daughter cell variability among.
