Hermaphroditism True, a Rare Genetic DisorderIntersex, commonly referred to as hermaphroditism, is a condition where a person is born with internal and or external reproductive organs of both sexes.- Meiosis & Genetic VariationMeiosis plays a role in the genetic differences between the individuals of a species.
- Meiosis: Dividing Chromosomes to Form GametesIn order for an organism to develop gametes (cells such as sperm and eggs) to aid in sexual reproduction, a process known as meiosis must occur. Meiosis reduces the number of chromosomes found within the cell from 46 to 23 in humans.
- Understanding Genetic TermsWhen studying genes and genetics, it is important to understand some of the common terms associated with the study of genes.
- Mitosis: Chromosomes Within the DNA of a CellThere are four phases involved in the process of cell division known as mitosis; prophase, metaphase, anaphase and telophase.
- Klinefelter SyndromeMen with Klinefelter Syndrome possess an extra X chromosome. This makes their genetic makeup consist of 47 chromosomes rather than 46. The condition creates sex chromosomes that are represented as XXY as opposed to the normal XY male chromosomes.
Philadelphia Chromosome, Leukemia and Stem Cell TransplantsA genetic mutation that creates what is known as the Philadelphia chromosome also causes leukemia. It can be helped by drugs that target the mutation, and by stem cell transplant.
