Part A

Summarize the processes of mitosis and meiosis while highlighting/indicating the similarities and differences. What roles does mitosis and meiosis play in human reproduction and development?

Part B

In addition, explain what is meant by the term 'linked genes' relating homologous recombination. For instance, if an organism is heterozygous at two genetic loci in the same chromosome, in what way does the position of these alleles with respect to each other affect how they are transmitted to gametes during meiosis?

Part C

Identify the different types of chromosomal abnormalities that can lead to disease and describe a disorder associated with each one of these aberrations.
