Document Summary
Meiosis: the process of producing haploid sex cells. Normally nadh is oxidized again by the etc. Without the etc, all the nadh in the cell stays reduced. Those electrons that are taken off get put on pyruvate (reducing it) and making it lactate. Atp is glycolysis and citric acid cycle is substrate level phosphorylation. Dna is passed on to offspring in large chromosomal chunks. The genome of any organism is highly organized. And in reproduction one from gamete cell gets passed down to daughter cell. (on slides, arrows=genes). The genome is the collection of all genetic information in a cell. Chromosomes don"t normally look like the little xs. They only do that during creation of gametes, indicates that the dna has been duplicated and the two halves are exactly the same identical chromosomes, (but still considered one chromosome). In x shape has also been highly condensed, to be easier to sort in preparation for splitting.
