What is A stem cell is

Biology
1 answer:
polet [3.4K]3 years ago
6 0

<em>by definition- a stem cell is an undifferentiated cell of a multi-cellular organism which is capable of giving rise to indefinitely more cells of the same type, and from which certain other kinds of cell arise by differentiation.</em>

an example

Stem cells have the potential to be whatever they want to be. Stem cells are able to develop into many different types of cells and can repair your body.

there are two types

adult stem cells and embryonic stem cells

Individual iv-3 is born as a male affected with condition b but not condition
ra1l [238]
The probable genotype of the IV-3 with the perspective of autosomal inheritance will be A because he does not have condition A. Therefore both parents must be in condition A.
The probable genotype of IV-3 with the perspective of set=linked inheritance will be BbY this is because he has B condition. Therefore the mothers' genotype must be XBXb and the father's genotype must be XBY. 
The probability of IV-4 having condition A is 1/36

Why is crossing over an essential step in meiosis
marshall27 [118]

Crossing over is essential for the normal segregation of chromosomes during meiosis. Crossing over also accounts for genetic variation, because due to the swapping of genetic material during crossing over, the chromatids held together by the centromere are no longer identical.

During meiosis homologous chromosomes often twist around each other break exchange segments and rejoin this process usually cont
Annette [7]

Explanation:

Crossing over, or genetic recombination contributes to genetic variation and diversity.

In early Prophase I of meiosis, crossing over occurs. This is the exchange of segments of chromosome, between non-sister homologous or similar chromatids crossing over happens at chiasmata, the point where non-sister chromosomes are joined. The chromosome pairs form tetrads held together at chiasmata.

Further Explanation:

All the genetic information within the eukaryotic cell is stored within the nucleus as helical DNA. This DNA is tightly wound around histones as chromosomes. To produce daughter cells, the chromosomes (total number of chromosomes (2n)) are copied before the cell splits into two daughter cells. This process is known as mitosis, and occurs in cell division and growth processes. Two new nuclei are formed, along with identical cells. These are the same as the parent cell and the chromosome number (2n) is maintained. Conversely in meiosis, the number of chromosomes (2n) is halved through meiotic divisions, producing 4 (n) germ cells (sperm or eggs), each containing half the number of chromosomes as its parent cell.

During the process of prophase I one the nuclear envelope containing chromosomes has only partly broken down homologous chromosomes are joined together by proteins and a complex or pairing call synapsis- corresponding genes on chromatids are aligned precisely. The syanpsis allows for crossing over which is the exchange of segments of chromosome, between non-sister homologous or similar chromatids crossing over happens at chiasmata, the point where non-sister chromosomes are joined.

Crossing over contributes to genetic variation and diversity; novel gene combinations in gametes are formed, which are not present in parent chromosomes. Genetic diversity describes all the genetic characteristics or traits within a species.
