Alona [7]4 years ago

The term DNA stands for deoxyribonucleic acid and contains genetic information in its double-stranded helical structure.

Explanation:

A nucleotide can be said to be the basic building block of the DNA molecule. Each of these nucleotides is composed of three components:

  1. A phosphate group
  2. A sugar group
  3. A nitrogen base

The genetic code contained within the DNA is determined by the sequence/order in which these bases occur.

The DNA backbone is made up of the sugar-phosphate nucleic acids framework. These groups occur in an alternating manner, in repeating patterns.

The structure of DNA is fairly regular, as in the following parameters are constant - orientation, length of the strand, width and number of nucleotides. These double-stranded molecules are asymmetrical, with the two disjoint strands intertwined with each other, connected by means of hydrogen bonds.

Hypothesize how the chromosomes of the parents would look compared to the chromosomes of their child?
marysya [2.9K]

During fertilization, the encounter of gametes results in the fusion of their nuclei. The nucleus of the egg cell thus formed is therefore a mixture of the two nuclei.

So the parent will only give half of his chromosomes, so the child will have 50% of his chromosomes that resemble each of his parents.

Another factor that must be mentioned is the genetic recombination between the chromosomes that occurs during meiosis of the reproductive cells. Thus, this will give a heterogeneous chromosome resulting from recombination of the two chromosomes of each of its parents, and the child will have a unique combination chromosome but keeping the alleles of both parents.
