This diploid chromosomal number represents two complete (or nearly complete) sets of genetic instructions - one from the egg and the other from the sperm. At fertilization‚ the chromosomes for the same traits pair up (homologous chromosomes) (1)______Allele_____ - genes (Gene - segment of DNA that codes for single protein)

Hox Genes | November 15 2010 | | Comparative Vertebrate Anatomy | Homeotic complex (Hox) genes are defined as a group of related genes that specify the anterior-posterior axis and segment identity of metazoan organisms during early embryonic development. These are situated very close to one another on the chromosome in groups of clusters. The orders of these genes located on the chromosomes are the same as the expression of the genes in the development of an embryo‚ whereas the first

Gene Therapy What is it? If genes don’t produce the right protein or don’t produce it correctly a person can have a genetic disorder. Gene therapy is an experimental technique that involves the transfer of a working copy of a gene into a cell to repair or replace a faulty gene so it is able to produce functioning proteins again. There are several approaches. The most common one is to insert a normal gene to replace the non-functional gene. Another approach is to swap a non-functional
