    1. A human somatic cell has 46 chromosomes that are diploid, while a human gamete has 23 chromosomes that are haploid. Somatic cells contain one set of sex chromosomes, while gametes contain either an X or Y chromosome. 2. The common components of eukaryotic cell division and binary fission are DNA duplication, segregation of the duplicated chromosomes, and division of cytoplasmic contents. 3. Evidence for the evolution of eukaryotic cell division includes that eukaryotic cells evolved from engulfment of prokaryotes, as mitochondria and chloroplasts have bacterial DNA and electron transport chains, supporting the endosymbiosis theory.

    1.

    compare and contrast a human somatic cell to a human gamete

     The somatic cell has forty-six 46 chromosomes,

     chromosomes in the somatic cells are haploid

     for the gamete cell, it has twenty-three chromosomes which are diploid, additionally in

    gamete cell heir are 23 chromosomes which has two sex

     while for somatic there are forty-six chromosomes and with one sex chromosomes.

    2,Name the common components of eukaryotic cell division and binary fission

    the common component includes

     DNA duplication

     Segregation of the duplicated chromosomes

     And the division of cytoplasmic contents.

    3,what is the evidence for the evolution of eukaryotic cell division

    It is believed that eukaryotic cells evolved from organelles in the prokaryotic. Eukaryotes

    are usually the cells that are found in animals, plants and the cellular organism and they usually

    contain the genetic materials in the nucleus. There are theories that explain the evolution of

    eukaryotic cells among them is the endosymbiosis theory. It states that eukaryotes evolved from

    prokaryotic whereby those smaller cells that were living in the large prokaryotic they developed

    into the mitochondria while those bacteria which were photosynthetic they later become the

    chloroplast of the eukaryotic cells.

    The evidence
    From the record of the fossils looking at the evolution of the eukaryotes, most evidence is

    looked at based on the study that is carried out on the present-day cells. From the DNA

    sequencing while comparing various bacteria and the chloroplast besides, the mitochondrial

    characteristics, it shows that the DNA materials indicate that eukaryotes have a lot of bacteria

    genes just like those organelles. Additionally, the chloroplast and the mitochondria present in the

    eukaryotes they have single and circular DNA molecules which is the same as the bacteria.

    Moreover, for the both they have the electron transport chain which works best by providing

    them with the chemical energy. Thus, with that one can connect the evolution of the prokaryotes

    using the Endosymbiosis theory.

    4, explain the advantage that population of sexually reproducing organism has over

    asexually organism

     For the sexual reproduction the two parents are represented for they both contribute the

    genetic information thus leading to the production of the unique offspring, unlike the

    asexual that leads to offspring being identical to the single parent that is involved.

     Additionally when looking at the transfer of the genetic disease the populations of the

    sexual reproduction is less susceptible.

     Leads to a diversified variety of the gene due to an exchange of the DNA.

    5,Individuals with trisomy 21 are more likely to survive to adulthood

    It is because when analyzing the two, the problems mostly caused by the trisomy happens

    because of the genes present in the chromosomes as they appear in three copies they tend to

    produce more product than the ones in the chromosomes that appear in two copies. In such case,

    the cell is not able to adjust to the amount of the product thus it lacks balance leading to the
    occurrence of problems in the maintenance and development of a particular individual. Thus,

    knowing that each chromosome is unique in its own way, therefore, the problems with the

    survivability may be caused by the number of genes present in the two chromosomes.

    In such a case chromosome 21 may appear to be smaller with few unbalanced products of

    the gene. Thus, it possible that the chromosome 21 has genes whereby its products are not so

    much sensitive to differences in the dosage than those chromosome 18.Therefore ,the genes are

    likely to be less involved in various critical pathways besides the differences occurring in

    dosages may create less of the differences to such set pathways.
