Summary Introduction

To determine:

The place of the terms-chromatid, centromere, nondisjunction, fertilization, and mitosis in the concept map of sexual reproduction and meiosis.

Introduction:

Sexual reproduction involves two parents, in which the male parent contributes sperm cells to fertilize the female’s egg cell to begin the next generation. The sperm and the egg cells are called gametes, which are haploid and get fertilized to form a diploid zygote. The germ cells undergo meiosis and the somatic cells undergo mitosis.

Blurred answer
Students have asked these similar questions
. Compare and contrast meiosis and mitosis. Consider the following factors: Number of times DNA is replicated Number of cell divisions Number of daughter cells produced “Ploidy” of daughter cells Type of cells in which the process occurs Number and genetic make-up of chromosomes in parent cell compared to daughter cells
Diagram metaphase and anaphase of mitosis, meiosis I and meiosis II in a cell containing two different chromosome types (2n=4). Label the spindle fibers, homologous chromosomes, and sister chromatids.  Count the total number of chromatids present at each stage.
Compare and contrast between mitosis and meiosis process.
