Document Summary

Biob11: lecture 1: chromosomes, heredity, meiosis and recombination. Diploid: containing both members of each pair of homologous chromosomes, as exemplified by most somatic cells. Diploid cells are produced from diploid parental cells during mitosis. Haploid: containing only one member of each pair of homologous chromosomes. Haploid cells are produced during meiosis, as exemplified by sperm. Dominant: an allele that produces the same phenotype whether its paired allele is identical or different. Recessive: an allele that produces its characteristic phenotype only when its paired allele is identical. Homologous: paired chromosomes of diploid cells, each carrying one of the two copies of the genetic material carried by the chromosome. Bivalent (tetrad): the complex formed during meiosis by a pair of synapsed homologous chromosomes. Recombination: the rearrangement of genetic material, especially by crossing over in chromosomes or by the artificial joining of segments of dna from different organisms.
