Complete the missing parts or circle the appropriate answer: 23 Mum and dad both have pairs of chromosomes diploid 2(n)/ haploid (n) (circle one). parents They inherited one from each of their. To make the next generation, DNA is mixed up for genetic diversity during Meiosis/Mitosis (circle one). Alleles homologous genes randomly places. swap Each mixed-up chromosome goes into its own diploid 2(n)/haploid (n) sex cell (circle one). 4 genetically different cells form. The next generation gets one mixed up chromosome from each. DNA parent 1. Correct number of chromosomes in each cell (in the circles provided) 2. Missing words (on the lines provided) 3

How can siblings look alike but not exactly the same if they come from the same parents?
Mitosis vs Meiosis Where it occurs Mitosis All over the body Meiosis Sex organs (testes and ovaries) No. of divisions 1 2 Cells produced by the process Ploidy: Daughter cells are Somatic cells (normal body cells) Diploid 2(n) (full set of chromosomes) Gametes (sex cells sperm/egg) Haploid (n) (half-set of chromosomes) No. of chromosomes No. of daughter cells 46 23 2 4 Purpose Growth, development, replacement of damaged cells Sexual reproduction
Mutations are any changes that take place in DNA: Mutations can be spontaneous or caused by mutagens such as chemicals, high temperatures, UV light, radiation Mutations change the genetic code, and be replicated when forming new body cells. Mutations in sex cells, can be passed on to offspring. Mutations can be neutral, beneficial, or harmful for example: blue eyes a mutation that occurred 6-10,000 years ago, can be traced back to one ancestor.

DNA and Mutations - Substitution THE DOG BIT THE CAT Substitution - Replace just one letter: THE DOG BIT THE CAR
DNA and Mutations - Deletion THE DOG BIT THE CAT Deletion: Delete just one letter (T): THE DOG BIT HEC AT
DNA and Mutations-Insertions THE DOG BIT THE CAT Insertion - Add just one letter (E): THE DOE GBI TTH ECA T Cells have proof reading proteins that constantly check the DNA and fix errors, so most are corrected.

Mutations - review! Cells continually carry out many complex processes and functions.! Mutations are mistakes that result in changes of DNA these can be neutral, good and also bad!! Mistakes and mutations happen all the time and are largely responsible for the diversity of life. 13
