Document Summary

Sutton proposed that mendelian factors are physically carried on chromosomes. In human females, the gametes reproduce to form 4 separate gametes, however they are unevenly divided and one is much larger than the other three- this is the egg. In mitosis, two daughter cells are formed, in meiosis four daughter cells are formed. Mitosis occurs in both sexual and asexual organisms; meiosis occurs in only sexual organisms. An additional source of genetic variability occurs during prophase i of meiosis. A meiotic error in which chromosomes are lacking or present in excess. Ex) xxy klinefelter syndrome, xyy male, trisomy x female, monosomy x female(turner"s syndrome), trisomy 21 (down syndrome), trisomy 13 (patau. A piece of chromosome may rejoin another chromosome, and its location can have profound effects on the expression of other genes. Organisms with triploid (3n), tetraploid (4n), and even higher levels.
