If there is a lack of chromosomes, then the full genetic structure of a human being cannot be reproduced because a human is made up of forty-three chromosomes (twenty-three from each parent) and if one is missing, there will only be forty-five, which will not reproduce a human being.

Does recombination happen when chromosomes get tangled?
yes
What would happen if mistakes occurred in the replication or separatiion of chromosomes?
You could have a mutant cell.
Predict what might happen to each daughter cell if all the chromosomes moved to only one side during anaphase?
don't know : D haha one of the daughter cells would lack chromosomes while the other one would have too many. In the end they would probably both be mutants and either die or have serious issues. I don't know for sure. Just a guess.
What might happen inf the gametes of a species has the same number of chromosomes as the species' body cells?
in human being's normal cells 46 chromosomes are found whereas in gametes half of the chromosomes,that is;23 are found if gametes will have same no. of chromosomes as in normal cells than in offspring (46+46=92)chromosomes will be found but it can't happen
What would happen if there were no spindle checkpoints?
If there were no spindle checkpoints then the chromosomes wouldn't be in the right position for the reproduction of the cell.
Is colorblindness caused by a lack of chromosomes?
no
Is huntingtons disease due to lack of chromosomes?
No, the Huntington's disease is inherited from either the mother or father. It's genes not a lack of chromosomes.
Is cleft lip due to a lack if chromosomes or extra chromosomes?
No , it is caused by a single gene mutation .
What must happen before meiosis can begin?
DNA replicates and forms tetrad—APEX.
What will happen if you have excessive chromosomes in your body?
Nothing serious will happen.
What happen to chromosomes during meiosis?
half of each parents' chromosomes go to the offspring
Does recombination happen when chromosomes get tangled?
yes
Is breast cancer do to a lack of chromosomes or extra chromosomes?
Neither. Breast cancer is the over growth of cells due to hormones or genetics.
What phase does the division of chromosomes happen?
Chromosomes will line up in metaphase and in anaphase they will split apart.
What happen to chromosomes as the zygote continues to divide?
as a zygote continue to divide the chromosomes keep producing
How many chromosomes does a tomato have?
A tomato would happen to have 12 pairs of chromosomes, therefore it has 24 chromosomes. I figured that by multiplying 12 by 2.
What would happen if homologous chromosomes paired with non-homologous chromosomes in meiosis 1 instead of the matching homolog?
good question!
