Meiosis and mitosis are both types of cell division. Describe the function of each and the type of cells produced by each proces
Talja [164]
What is Mitosis?

"Mitosis is the cycle that eukaryotic cells go through in order to divide. During mitosis, a cell duplicates its DNA and divides into two genetically identical cells. 

Mitosis and cytokinesis are part of the mitotic phase of the cell cycle, which make up about 20 percent of the entire lifecycle of a cell. The end result of mitosis is two completely separate cells with equal and similar cellular components. "  


"Meiosis is the special cell division cycle for gamete cells, or sex cells. Chromosomes carry the genetic code for an organism, and come in pairs. In asexual reproduction, a cell will just divide itself to create two new cells.  In sexual reproduction, the parent provides one set of each chromosome, or half the genetic code for an organism. When the two parent donor gametes – typically an egg and sperm – meet in fertilization, they provide the offspring with the full set of necessary chromosomes. For example, humans require 46 chromosomes, or 23 pairs. An egg or sperm will have just 23 chromosomes, or one half of the pair. This makes gamete cell division more complex than ordinary cell division. Within this cycle, the number of chromosomes is halved, typically going from a diploid (two sets) to haploid (one set) cell. It also includes a step where the chromosomes cross, allowing for more genetic diversity in reproduction."

In humans, the allele for dimples (d) is dominant to the allele for no dimples (d). at another gene locus, the allele for broad
swat32

Assuming you mean to type:

 

"In humans, the allele for dimples (D) is dominant to the allele for no dimples (d). at another gene locus, the allele for broad eyebrows (B) is dominant to the allele for broad eyebrows (b)."

 

Man: Heterozygous for both genes means DdBb

Woman: no dimples, and heterozygous for slender eye-brows means ddBb

 

Punnett Square

 

         DB       Db         dB        db

dB   DdBB   DdBb    ddBB    ddBb

dB   DdBB   DdBb    ddBB    ddBb

db    DdBb    Ddbb    ddBb    ddbb   

db    DdBb    Ddbb    ddBb    ddbb   

 

Interpretation: anywhere that has a capital letter has the dominant trait.

Dimples+Broad eyebrows : 6 cases out of 16  (3/8=37.5%)

Dimples+slender eyebrows: 2 cases out of 16  (1/8=12.5%)

No dimples+Broad eyebrows: 6 cases out of 16 (3/8=37.5%)

No dimples+slender eyebrows: 2 cases out of 16 (1/8=12.5%)

What are some unique ways that genetics is used in the field of medicine and health
hram777 [196]

Answer:

Explanation:

Genetics is a branch of biology that deals with the study of genes, genetic variability and hereditary in different organisms. Genetics can be used in medicine and health as outlined below.

1. Use for early detection of genetic disorders I.e it is used for prenatal disorders.

2. To test for mutations(change in gene content) in DNA which causes different deadly diseases e.g breast cancer.

3.It is use to manage diseases associated with metabolism.

4.It is use for molecular diagonistics of different kind of genetics diseases e.g celiac disease, Wilson disease e.tc.

In the diagram, how many angles are alternate exterior angles with angle 5?
andriy [413]

Explanation:

We have attached a figure that shows the diagram of the given equation.

We need to find how many angles are alternate exterior angles with angle 5?

We know that an exterior angle is the angle that is made outside of the shape and an alternate angle is the angle opposite of a transversal line of another angle.

From the figure, 8, 7, 9, 10, 12, and 11 are the angles that are on the same transversal. 8, 7, 9, 10, and 12 are just exterior. It means that 11 is the alternate exterior of angle 5. So, only one angle is alternate exterior angles with angle 5.
