Why would the storage of genetic information in genes help explain why chromosomes are separated so carefully during mitosis?
Wiki User
∙ 12y ago
The careful separation in mitosis is supposed to ensure that both daughter cells recieve a full diploid complement of the chromosomes, i.e both daughter cells get all the genetic information from the parent's cells

Do homologous chromosomes have identical genes Explain?
Ask a biologist.
Explain the importance of crossing-over during the first division of meiosis?
The first division reduces the number of Chromosomes by half.
Explain how the expression of genes on sex chromosomes differs from the expression of genes on autosomal chromosomes?
Autosomes are identical to each other whereas sex chromosomes come in two forms, X and y and code for the sex linked characteristics (and some other traits) and are the 24th pair, determine sex.
Can you explain 'prophase' in one sentence?
Yes, prophase is a part in the cell cycle of mitosis where spindle fibers form and attach to chromosomes.
How does meiosis produce genetic variability?
There are three sources of genetic variation in meiosis: 1) Independent assortment = like shuffling a deck of cards and dealing out half the deck 2) Crossing over = homologous chromosomes swap parts, making new combinations 3) Random fertilization = only one sperm cell makes it into the egg

chromosomes

Explain why chromosomes are important for orgsnisms?
Chromosomes carry genetic material from generation to generation and help in evolution of better adapted organisms, hence these are important for each organism.
Explain why is water separate from sand?
Water can be separated from sand by decantation or simple filtration.
Explain me what are significant numbers?
Significant figures communicate how carefully a measurement is made. You could round it
Explain how nondisjunction results in cells with abnormal numbers of chromosomes?
Nondisjunction results in cells with abnormal numbers of chromosomes due to chromosomes not separating properly in meiosis. this causes some cells to end up with to many chromosomes and others to end up with not enough chromosomes. It messes up cell division and development and can lead to death or genetic disorders like down syndrome.
