Summary Introduction

To analyze:

The difference between haploid and diploid eukaryotic cells.

Introduction:

The term in Greek, eu means “well" or "true" and karyon is "kernel"; hence, a eukaryotic cell refers to a cell with a true nucleus along with other membrane-bound organelles such as plastids and Golgi. Protozoa, fungi, plants, and animals are all eukaryotic cells. These eukaryotic cells contain DNA or the genetic material packaged in the form of thread-like structures or chromosomes. Different organisms contain different numbers of chromosomes: for example, humans have 46 chromosomes in a cell. The term ploidy refers to the number of sets of chromosomes in the nucleus of a cell.

*Example 2: Tracing the path of an autosomal dominant trait Trait: Neurofibromatosis Forms of the trait: The dominant form is neurofibromatosis, caused by the production of an abnormal form of the protein neurofibromin. Affected individuals show spots of abnormal skin pigmentation and non-cancerous tumors that can interfere with the nervous system and cause blindness. Some tumors can convert to a cancerous form. i The recessive form is a normal protein - in other words, no neurofibromatosis.moovi A typical pedigree for a family that carries neurofibromatosis is shown below. Note that carriers are not indicated with half-colored shapes in this chart. Use the letter "N" to indicate the dominant neurofibromatosis allele, and the letter "n" for the normal allele.
