1. Every individual contain a diploid set of chromosome a, single pair represent the homologous pairing of chromosome.
One of the homologous pair come from paternal side and other homologous pair come from the maternal side. The separation of chromosome in such a manner that both maternal and paternal chromosomes are passed on to each Spermatozoon is due to crossing over which takes place in pachytene stage of prophase I of meiosis I.
2. The genetic content of individual chromosomes in a spermatozoon most likely differs from the genetic content of individual chromosomes in a primary spermatocyte because in primary spermatocytes meiosis I takes place which segregrate the homologous pairing of chromosome in a diploid organism to form haploid gamete as it can we seen in secondary spermatocyte, spermatids and spermatozoon.
3. This is the case of aneuploidy which occurs due to non- disjunction happens during chromosomal segregation in meiosis which create a spermatozoa with 4 chromosome and another with 2 chromosome resulting in trisomic and monosomic aneuploidy.
4. If the animal producing the spermatozoa has a mutation in a mitochondrial gene, the probability that any offspring will inherit the mutation is zero because sperm carry only genetic material to female gamete during gametic fusion, it doesn't contribute it's other cellular compartment during fusion.

Unit 3 Study Resource Meiosis • Process by which diploid cells create haploid cells NOT part of the cell cycle > only some cells ever undergo meiosis During meiosis I, homologous chromosomes line up to allow them to be separated into two new cells o They can become "tangled" during this phase, which leads to crossing-over (rearranging the alleles) O Result of meiosis I is two non-identical haploid cells Meiosis Il looks very similar to mitosis, in that sister chromatids...

Can anyone help me with this? Thank you.
Lab 13. Mitosis and Meiosis Purpose The purpose of this lab is to understand the process of mitosis and melosis in animal and plant cells. Learning Objectives After completing this lab, you will be able to: 1. Describe the stages of mitosis. 2. Identify the stages of mitosis in an onion root or whitefish blastula using a light microscope. 3. Describe how cytokinesis differs in plant vs. animal cells. 4. Name and...
