Why are both mitosis and meiosis important in passing on information from one generation to the next?

Biology

nignag [31]3 years ago

Mitosis makes copies of the host, so it is a good option to increase the population because it is a fast process. Meiosis is important to create genetic diversity, because it makes four genetically different haploid cells, instead of two genetically identical diploid cells, as mitosis does.

I believe he is looking for an allele
An allele is a variant form of a gene. Some genes have a variety of different forms, which are located at the same position, or genetic locus, on a chromosomes. Humans are called diploid organisms because they have two alleles at each genetic locus, with one allele inherited from each parent.

The starting cell must duplicate its Chromosomes in interphase before mitosis can being? Does this change the number of chromoso
MArishka [77]

Answer:

The correct answer is both.

Explanation:

  • Each chromosome is made up of a pair of sister chromatids which remain attached to each other at the centromere.
  • During DNA replication the DNA duplicates, which means that if initially in the parent cell 'n' chromosomes were present then, after duplication, the number of chromosomes in the cell will be '2n'.
  • As mentioned above, each chromosome has a pair of sister chromatids, that is, two chromatids per chromosome. So, 'n' chromosomes will have '2n' chromatids. Hence, '2n' chromosomes will have '4n' chromatids.
  • In a parent cell,
  1. Before duplication, number of chromosome = n, number of chromatid = 2n.
  2. After duplication, number of chromosome = 2n, number of chromatid = 4n.
  • The cell cycle proceeds as, G0, G1, S, G2, M.
  • G0 represents the interphase. It occurs before replication or duplication of the chromosomes, which occurs in the S phase.
  • So, in G0 phase, the chromosome number is 'n' and chromatid number is '2n'.
