Understanding About Genetic Material - Report_2
INTRODUCTIONGenetics is defines ad the study of heredity as well as variations. These are the elementsin human body which are controlled by the component known as genes. This specific componentis present inside the nucleus of cell which are interconnected in such a manner that the seriescarries information.The report has focus on developing the understanding about genetic material as well asmechanism of mitosis and meiosis. It will also emphasize on demonstrating the mechanism aswell as significance of DNA replication. The report will also highlight the role and necessity ofmeiosis in generating Variations.TASK 11.1 Structure of DNA, Chromosomes and GenesThe DNA module is present inside the nucleus cell which is packed into the stucvturewhich is designed like a thread recognised as Chromosomes.Individual Chromosomes isdeveloped by Tightly closed DNA which is coiled arround protein also known as Histoneswhose role is to support structure.Choromosomes are the invisible elements which is present insiode the nucleus.It is verysmall which can not be observed even by using microscope. But the DNA is the component thattightly binds cromosomes at the time of cell division which allows Chromosomes to becomevisible (Fersht, 2017)Each chrp0omosomes consists of constriction point which is recognised as centrromerewhose role is to categorise the chromosome into two sections, or arms.In the structure P armindiicates short aerm.In addition to this Q represents long arm.The area of centromere on eachchromosome yield the chromosome its characteristic shape, and can be utilised for describing thelocation of specific genes.2
