Answer:
The same
Explanation:
In mitosis, genetically identical daughter cells are created. In meiosis the number of chromosomes is half as many as the original cell
G=Green....because your starting plant is heterozygous it must be Gg
g = yellow ....because yellow is recessive, it must be gg
Gg x gg
Do a Punnet Square and you get
Gg (2)
gg (2)
So half of your plants will be green (but heterozygous) and half will be yellow (homozygous)
Answer:
The benefits and harms of learning about my DNA are mostly in medical, personal, civil and criminal fields.
Explanation:
a) Pros: learning about my genome sequence could provide new information on the genetic basis of poorly understood diseases with the potential to provide new therapies, immediate benefits based on the current understanding of genetic and health. Being aware of elevated risks for known diseases could allow me to make proactive decisions about my health such as visiting the doctor frequently for more check ups, screening. Choosing one type of prescription drug over another based on my metabolism, changing my diet or exercise plan, informing reproductive decisions, moreover, I would personalize my health care precisely.
b) Cons: the potential harms are the privacy invation, database exposure , which could lead to serious implications for the criminal justice system, which generally seeks to increase the availability of DNA samples from the population. It would create genetic discrimination, meaning that would be harder to find jobs, contract insurance, even though we have a Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act.
Meiosis only occurs in reproductive cells, as the goal is to create haploid gametes that will be used in fertilization. Meiosis is important to, but not the same as, sexual reproduction. Meiosis is necessary for sexual reproduction to occur, as it results in the formation of gametes sperm and eggs.
