Question
Answer
term used to describe a cell which has two sets of genetic information
Diploid
A part of a cell where chromosomes are found
nucleus
The cord attached to a human fetus to the placenta
umbilical cord
A group of similar organisms that interbreed to produce offspring
species
the number of pairs of chromosomes in a human body cells
twenty three
Type of cell which has a cell wall
Plant
The shape of DNA
Double helix
type of variation where the characteristics can be used to divined up a population into distinct groups
Discrete variation
The four letters used to represent the four bases of DNA
AT GC
Factors which affect normal development of an embryo
teratogens
A change in the number or structure of chromosomes
mutation
Fertilisation happen here
oviduct
sperm, eggs, pollrn and ovules are these
gametes
A piece of information on a chromosome
gene
an organism which can produce gametes that are viable to be said this
fertile
define a species
a group of similar organisms that interbreed to produce fertile offspring
explain fertile
an organism can produce gamest that are viable
explain what infertile and sterile mean
sterile means that an organism is unable to produce gametes that are fertile
give an example of similar organisms that interbreed to produce hybrid offspring which is sterile
liger, mule
Describe discrete variation
a characteristic that can be used to dived up the population into distinct groups like hair eye colour
describe continuous variation
a characteristic that varies from on extreme to another like how much you way
what does genetic information state
the characteristics or appearance of an organism
state that normal body cells are diploids and have two sets if chromosomes
yes
at Fertilisation the zygote is diploid gaining a chromosome set from each gamete
yes
how many pair of chromosomes in a normal human body cell
23 pairs
where does human fertilisation start
oviduct
what is the next stage of when a zygote divides into more cells called
blastocyst
