differentiate Mitosis and Meiosis ?

Answer Posted / jica

meiosis
-the cellular process that results in the no. of chromosomes in gamete-producing cells being reduced to one half and that involves a reduction division in which one of each pair of homologous chromosomes passes to each daughter cell and in mitotic division.
mitosis
-a process that takes place in the nucleus of a dividing cell involves typically a series of steps consisting of interphase, prophase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase and cytokinesis and results in the formation of two new nuclei each having the same no. of chromosomes as the parent nucleus.

A blastomere was removed from an 8-cell human embryo, and its beta-globin gene was amplified by PCR. The beta-globin DNA was treated with an enzyme that cuts on either side of and within the normal allele (producing a small fragment), but not within the sickle cell allele (producing a large fragment). Electrophoresis of the treated DNA from the blastomere demonstrated the presence of both a large and small fragment derived from the beta-globin genes. How should you interpret this test?

Flower position, stem length, and seed shape were three traits that were studied by Mendel. Each is controlled by an independently assorting gene. If a plant that is heterozygous for all three traits was allowed to self- fertilize, what proportion of the offspring would be expected to show all three dominant phenotypes?
