A Mutagen is an agent of substance that can bring about a permanent alteration to the physical composition of a DNA gene such that the genetic message is changed.
Synapsis:
•Early
during the first nuclear division.
•Homologous
chromosomes pair along their length.
•Held
tightly by protein ‘zipper’.
<span>Homologous Recombination: </span>
•Genetic
exchange (crossing
over<span>)
occurs between homologous chromosomes. It then becomes a mix of both paternal and maternal genes (father and mother respectively)</span>
Not really, that would be more like a cell wall. Cytoplasm is like the broth in chicken noodle soup, it contains all the chicken and vegetables.
