Question

Genetic variation project....?
I have 2 do a proj. about every1 in the world being the same. I know that the world has 2 be a world that duplicates (humans) by mitosis. How do mitosis reproduce? (How can I make the humans reproduce through mitosis?) Then it says how they function in the society.. what could i say about that?
Thank you :)

Answer 1

This is I most say a funny project as you get to think ALOT about you are going to design this world. But to attack this subject I think we should look at the original theory and then look at the problems we need to solve:
In order for to make a populaton that can survive it most be able to reproduce. So we look at the human life cycle (medal for awesome drawing skillz):

Now lets fast recap meiosis and mitosis:
Meiosis: 1x 2n cell -> 4x 1n cell (genetic reshuffle)
Mitosis:1x 2n cell -> 2x 2n cell (genetical same)

Now lets set up some problems (please provide more (the more the better can your idea be):
*All the humans in the population have to be 2n.
*genetic reshuffle may not happen.

One way of solveing both problems could be to remove a sex (bye bye male) in that way instead of doing a meiosis you would do a mitosis and get a 2n cell that can function as zygote that is identical to the parrent cell.
