Typically seen in non-human zoology (but also discovered to a rare extent in humans), a chimera is an animal that has two or more different populations of genetically distinct cells that originated in different zygotes involved with sexual reproduction.

A tetrad includes which of the following sets of DNA strands?
two sets of sister chromatids that have synapsed
DNA replication involves producing new copies of DNA molecules. How many individual DNA strands exist after one molecule of DNA has been replicated?
DNA is made of 2 strands so when it replicates the strands separate and 2 new strands complete the old strands. leaving 4 strands making 2 sets of DNA, both sets of DNA consist of one old strand and one new strand.- Sierra A. Buchanan
Why is it important that a cell copy its DNA before mitosis takes place?
This ensures that a cell about to divide has two sets of genetic information , one for each daughter cell.
Are chromosomes and chromatid the same thing?
Two chromatids held by the centromere is called a chromosome.
What does dipliod mean?
The word diploid means having 2 of something. In the case of cells containing DNA in the form of chromosomes, it would mean a set of 2 chromosomes instead of one. The only place that you would find only one set would be in the gametes (sperm or egg).
When DNA is combined from two different sources what kind of organism does it produce?
If the two different sources of DNA are a sperm and egg cell, they produce a diploid organism, which means that it has two sets of chromosomes in its body cells.
A tetrad includes which of the following sets of DNA strands?
two sets of sister chromatids that have synapsed
What is a gene pair called?
A gene has two sets of DNA.
What is the definition of a haploid cell?
A haploid cell is a cell which contains one set of DNA. Most cells have 2 full sets of DNA. Gametes (found in sex cells: sperm and egg cells) are gametes. It is important that they have only one set of DNA because, when the egg is fertilised, the two gametes fuse together to make a zygote with the full 2 sets of DNA.
What two sets of compounds do DNA contain equal amounts of?
hot sauce
Why does a cell make a copy of its DNA defore it divides?
Because each cell needs its own set of DNA, there must be two sets of DNA present in a cell before it divides into two.

Why is it important for DNA is replicated before a cell divides?
so that there will be two sets of DNA ... one for each new cell. If the DNA doesnt replicate one new cell would have no DNA. and cells need DNA.
How is DNA used in your body?
it divides and makes two dna's that is how you have so many
What is a tetragametic chimera?
A tetragametic chimera is an individual who has two distinct sets of DNA in their body, typically originating from the fusion of two fraternal embryos in the womb. This rare genetic condition can result in individuals having different blood types and characteristics in different parts of their body.
What he is the father but the DNA test said no?
This is possible... Have your doctor test for Chimerism in the parents. One of the parents could have two sets of chromosomes (they "absorbed" their twin in the womb).
What is the different haploid and diploid cell?
Diploid cells have two sets of DNA (which is what is normal) while haploid cells (usually reproductive cells) have only one set.
