, DNA replication & B
e
Define DNA replication: the biological process of producing two identical replicas of
DNA from one original DNA Molecule . During replication ,
double helix is separated.
Both strands of original DNA serve as a template for the production of a new helix
.
I semi-conservative replication) The new helix will be composed of an
original DNA strand
as well as a newly synthesised strand.
Explain the importance of DNA replication :
Daughter cells are identical , equal in a mount
of DNA . The process of replication helps in the inheritance process by transfer of the genetic
material from one generation to another .
Purpose of mitosis : for growth and repair of body parts excluding/regrowth ,
Purpose of meiosis :
to produce gametes ,
the spenlegg ,
with half the
genetic info
of the parent cells .
Compare the process of Mitosis and Meiosis : Mitosis produces two genetically
identical daughter cells from a parent cell . Meiosis produces cells that are genetically
unique from the parent and contain half as Much DNA from each . All cells go through
Mitosis , only sex cells /gametes) undergo meiosis . Mitosis-diploid meiosis-haploid
Explain the role of crossing over and independant assortment in generating
variation in gametes Crossing: over
during prophase and independant
assortment during anaphase creates sets of chromosomes with new combos
of alleles .
