fission. Bacteria have one chromosome that’s attached to the cell membrane. The chromosome replicates and the two copies separate as the cell grows. Over a period of time this one cell makes two cells. Eukaryotes do the process of mitosis. In mitosis‚ each daughter cell gets about half of the cytoplasm from the mother cell and one copy of the DNA. Cells have to replicate the chromosomes so each daughter cell can have a set before cell division can occur. When the chromosomes have replicated and are

The DNA extracted is then cultured to examine a picture of the chromosomes called a karyotype. A karyotype is a picture of a person’s chromosomes. In order to get this picture‚ the chromosomes are isolated‚ stained‚ and examined under the microscope. Most often‚ this process is done using the chromosomes in the white blood cells. A picture of the chromosomes is taken through the microscope. The visibility of an extra eighteenth chromosome confirms a Trisomy 18

The cell is the basic unit of all life. All living things-- tigers‚ trees‚ elephants‚ and men-- are made up of cells. A cell is alive-- as alive as you are. It breathes‚ takes in food‚ and gets rid of waste. It grows and reproduces‚ or creates one of its own kind. (Garrod 36) Most cells reproduce by dividing‚ so that there are two cells where there once was one. (Akkas 78) Every living thing is made up of one or more cells‚ and each of these cells was produced by an already existing cell. New cells

Prometaphase is where the nuclear envelope fragments. The chromosomes become more condensed‚ and some of the microtubules attach to the kinetochores. In metaphase is the longest stage that occurs in mitosis. The centrosomes are at opposite poles of the cell now. Also the chromosomes convene on a metaphase plate between the two poles. Anaphase is the

They discovered that genes were made of DNA‚ each DNA carried structured called chromosomes and those chromosomes determined traits that are seen in the next generation. It was James Watson and

Fruit fly has four pairs of chromosomes: the X/Y sex chromosomes and the autosomes 2‚ 3‚ and 4. the fourth chromosome is very tiny and rarely heard from. The size of the genome is about 165 million bases and contains and estimated 14‚000 genes (by comparison‚ the human genome has 3‚400 million bases and may have about 22‚500

This haploid condition continues during meiosis II when sister chromatids split apart during the formation of four daughter cells. Score for incorrect answer: 0 General feedback 1 (May include media.

Classification of species: kingdoms contain many different types of organisms‚ each taxon contains progressively fewer types of organisms‚ taxon “species” is narrowest category‚ containing only one type of organism. As you go from kingdom to species‚ organisms share more and more in common. - Explain and give an example

WAGR Syndrome WAGR (Wilms’ tumor‚ Aniridia‚ Genitourinary abnormalities‚ and mental Retardation) Syndrome is a contiguous gene deletion syndrome that is caused by a deletion in chromosome 11. The acronym for the syndrome comes from the various symptoms that are caused by the deletion – wilms’ tumor‚ aniridia‚ genitourinary abnormalities‚ and mental retardation. Wilms’ tumor is a tumor that is found in the kidneys that causes nephroblastoma‚ cancer of the kidneys. Aniridia‚ the absence of the iris
