Document Summary

Nondisjunction in meiosis leads to incorrect chromosome number. Gametes have a single set of chromosomes: meiosis is a process that converts diploid nuclei to haploid nuclei, meiosis occurs in in specialized cases: the sex organs, producing gametes sperm and eggs. In humans, primary oocyte suspended in meiosis i until ovulation, only completes. Ex: you are not the mother of your children. Lydia had applied for welfare after separating from her longtime boyfriend, dwayne: pe(cid:396) state law, the dna of he(cid:396) two (cid:272)hild(cid:396)e(cid:374) was (cid:272)o(cid:373)pa(cid:396)ed to lydia"s dna a(cid:374)d dway(cid:374)e"s. Dna to establish paternity: tests revealed each child shared roughly half of their dna markers with their father and a(cid:271)out a (cid:395)ua(cid:396)te(cid:396) of ea(cid:272)h (cid:272)hild"s dna (cid:373)at(cid:272)hed lydia"s dna. Dna testing is now used legally in many civil and criminal cases. The central dogma irrefutable truth; proposed by francis crick in 1956 (3 years after discovering structure of dna); mechanism of dna replication.
