Document Summary

Father"s sperm + mother"s ovum = zygote with 46 chromosomes in total. The process by which a cell separates chromosomes in its nucleus into two identical. Why do individual differences exist if we come from the same genetic predispositions (siblings) Chromosomes within sperm cells divide in half before they fertilize an ovum or egg cell. Chromosomes with egg cells divide in half before they are fertilized. The randomness creates variation in the resulting embryo. Direct production of amino acids necessary for forming new cells. Guide cells to develop different parts of body. May turn on or turn off other genes. One member from mother, one from father. Both gene are dominant or both recessive. To express a trait one must have a homozygous recessive allele. One gene is dominant and one is recessive. Dominant genes are almost always stronger than recessive genes. Mutation (spontaneous or triggered by prenatal environment)
