Summary Introduction
To explain:
In a short essay how chromosome behaviour during sexual reproduction inanimals ensures perpetuation of parental traits in offspring and, at the same time,
Introduction:
Chromosomes are the densely packed DNA molecule, found within the nucleus of a cell. During sexual reproduction the chromosome undergoes genetic recombination. During cell cycles the chromosome undergoes different phases to divide itself into two.

list and describe the ways meiosis increases variability; be able to

list and describe the processes of the central dogma of biology – the
flow of information from DNA to protein.
Based on Standard NGSS MS-LS3-2: Develop and use a model to describe why asexual reproduction results in offspring with identical genetic information and sexual reproduction results in offspring with genetic variation.
In reference to the attached image, can you create a model that shows how it is possible that the twins ended up with such different traits yet have the same parents? Keeping in mind that the twins are a set of fraternal twins.
Note:Required a cause-and-effect relationship between parents and offspring with the appropriate mechanism, and Diagram shows genetic recombination as well as inheritance

In meiosis, homologous chromosomes lie in pairs but don't cross over; whereas, in mitosis, chromosomes remain separate and undergo crossing overr. In meiosis, homologous chromosomes don’t lie in pairs and don't undergo crossing over; whereas, in mitosis, chromosomes lie in pairs and get crossed over. In mitosis, chromosomes, as a whole, move towards the opposite poles; whereas, in meiosis I, chromatids move towards the opposite poles. In meiosis, homologous chromosomes lie in pairs, and form chiasmata; whereas, in mitosis homologous chromosomes dont undergo synapsis or crossing over.arrow_forward#5: knowledge in geneticsarrow_forward

Changes that just reverse the meaning (e.g. changing "is" to "isn't" or "all" to "none") will not earn credit.

Q 15 of 15 Meiosis occurs as sex cells reproduce and engage in crossing over, while mitosis occurs as DNA replicates itself. Mitosis occurs in females, and meiosis occurs in males in sexual reproduction. Mitosis is used to create the DNA in sex cells, and meiosis replicates cells within the body. Meiosis is involved in sex cell reproduction, which duplicates the 46 chromosomes, and mitosis is not.arrow_forwardNow that you've learned about mitotic and meiotic cell division, you understand that the process of mitosis results in cells that are identical to the parent cell whereas in meiosis, the daughter cells that are produced are genetically different from the parent cell. Meiosis introduces variation into populations of sexually reproducing organisms while mitosis produces cells for growth and cell specialization. In this post you will demonstrate understanding of how meiosis contributes to genetic variability and why this variability is important. How would children look if humans would reproduce through mitosis instead of using meiosis? Would there be any pitfalls in a population of humans if mitosis were the primary method for reproduction? Please remember to add a question to engage your classmates in the discussion.arrow_forward
