Document Summary

All human cells (except sperm & egg) have. They reproduce through a process called mitosis. Nucleus (including dna) duplicate & cell divides. Two new cells are formed, identical to original. Eggs and sperm are formed through a different type of cell division- meiosis. Cell of the testes (men) or ovaries (women) Four cells are formed, each with half of the chromosomes. Each sperm or egg has 23 unpaired chromosomes. Fertilization an egg and a sperm fuse together to form a single cell, called a zygote. Creates one set of paired chromosomes (46 chromosomes arranged in 23 pairs) Develop from a single zygote that divides into two. Combining genes of parents increases genetic variability in population. Chromosomes in zygote are not exact copies of the parents. Gene mutations can permanently alter segments of dna. Complex blend of information that determines our species. A dominant gene will always exert its effect. Only exert its effect if both genes are recessive.
