Briefly summarize the processes of mitosis and meiosis indicating where the similarities lie and in which aspects they differ. Explain what is meant by the term ‘linked genes’ with respect to homologous recombination. Identify the different types of chromosomal abnormalities that can lead to disease (e.g. insertions) and in a sentence or two, describe a disorder associated with one of these aberrations. Please use your own words, thanks

Expert Solution

Chromosomal abnormalities due to insertion causes diseases like Tay Sachs disease, Huntingdons disease, down's syndrome etc.

Down's syndrome is also known as trisomy 21 I.e due to extra chromosome. Patients show low intellectual ability with specific facial characteristics. In this individual has 47 chromosomes.

Little more need to write handwritten so wait.

Mitosis and meiosis are both integral processes in gene transmission. However, the processes, while similar, have distinct differences. For these processes: a)Explain how alleles are transmitted differently in mitosis versus meiosis and why both processes are necessary. Genetic variation in offspring is the result of several processes. b) Explain these processes at the chromosomal level.

Although mitosis and meiosis share similarities, they are different processes and create very different results. In this experiment, you will follow the movement of chromosomes through mitosis to create somatic daughter cells.
