varied gametes (eggs or sperm cells) out of a diploid cell." (Hartwell, 2006, p.1) The diploid cell contains a full set of chromosome pairs with each pair being inclusive of one chromosome from each parent. While the chromosome pairs are not identical in nature, they are homologous or equivalent chromosomes since they contain different gene alleles. I. The Process The chromosomes are replicated and each is reported to comprise "two identical chromatids" which are stated to be joined by a centromere

this particular pairing makes up a code called a genetic code. Inside the cells, DNA is formed into chromosomes that tell the body how to function. Within each cell are 46 chromosomes that come in pairs and those pairs make up 23 pairs of chromosomes. A single chromosome in each pair comes from the male and a single chromosome in each pair comes from the female. The first 22 pairs of chromosomes make up a person’s physical appearance and abilities

two X chromosomes. However, females who inherit the mutation will become carriers. If a male inherits the mutation from his mother, he will not have a normal copy of the gene and will develop the condition. When a mother is a carrier of an X-linked mutation, each daughter will have one in two (50%) chance of becoming a carrier and each son will have one in two (50%) chance of inheriting the condition. When a father has X-linked condition, his sons will not be affected because he will pass on a Y-chromosome

INTRODUCTION TO DROSOPHILA GENETICS DROSOPHILA CULTURE We will study basic principles of Mendelian inheritance with the use of the fruit fly, Drosophila melanogaster [the name means “black-bodied fruit-lover”]. Drosophila was one of the first organisms to be studied genetically: its small size, short life cycle (10 ~14 days at 25oC), high reproductive rate (an adult female can lay 400-500 eggs in 10 days), and ease of culture and genetic manipulation have made it perhaps the best understood animal

later in life usually at age 10-20. Researchers identified that a gene in the X chromosome that when flawed it is the cause of MD. Dystrophin is the gene that is needed in the X chromosome to have fully functioning muscle development. MD is inherited in only the X chromosome so males have a 50% chance of inheriting the condition if the mother is a carrier, but females have a very low risk because they get an X chromosome from both mother and father. This condition is an X-linked recessive pattern

reproduce a sexually. In this process Chromosomes are duplicated and then distributed during the process of mitosis. The offspring are exactly the same as the parent as well as each other. Certain organisms such as humans and animals reproduce sexually by the bond of an egg cell from a female and a sperm cell from a male. These organisms carry out meiosis. Genes in a eukaryotic species are grouped up together in chromosomes found in the nucleus, each of the chromosomes contain one long strand of DNA. Before

Within the nucleus, chromosomes containing genetic information form. Each chromosome contains strands of DNA. Shorter sections of the DNA are called genes. Humans have 46 chromosomes or 23 pairs, which are used to create a child from the parent’s chromosomes. 23 from the mother and 23 from the father are shared. The chromosomes occur in pairs, which have the same shape and size, though they will vary from the other chromosomes attained. Within each pair, one from the mother and the other from the

dystrophy and then the disease picked up his name, due to his founding. The cause of Duchenne muscular dystrophy is by a gene on the X chromosome. It is mainly seen in boys and results in issues with the lower part of the body. This is a genetic disease that occurs at a very young age and is typically because of a genetic disorder. Males are born with one X and one Y
