mitosis goal

A

produce 2 identical daughter cells

22

asexual reproduction

A

identical to parent cell, same number of chroms as parent (46)

24
Q

spermatogenesis

A

sperm production

25
oogenesis
each month 1 oocyte undergoes meiosis
26
monosomy
one side of a specific chrome is missing
27
trisomy
has 3 copies of a specific chrome, (2n+1)
28
non-disjunction
when. chroms dont seperate properly during anaphase
29
cloned animals
develop through mitosis
30
trisomy 21
down syndrome
31
trisomy 13
pateu syndrome
32
restriction enzyme
protein that cuts enzyme at specific places, used for genetic engineering
