Question
For each statement below, how would you (politely) explain to your colleague what is incorrect about their statement and how they should be thinking about information flow in cells differently? Write only 1-2 sentences in response to each statement 1. “Meiosis is like a copy machine, producing two cells identical to the original cell." 2. "The chance of a biological male making a sperm where all 23 chromosomes came from that individual's own father is (1/2) 46 3·"After having their first child, the chance of a couple having a second child that is genetically identical is (1/2) 23.Explanation / Answer
1. The answer is as the results from meiosis division have half of its chromosome number and the total number of resultant cells are four, the above statement is wrong.
2. As the chromosomes segregated independently, and the male has two sets of homologous chromosomes, the probability of making a sperm from that indiviudal's own father is (1/2)^23.
3. As the chromosomes segregated independently, and the humans has two sets of homologous chromosomes, the probability of second child genetically identical is to first child is(1/2)^23.
