Actually, some genomes are the same A single individual is produced. A zygote multiplies and develops. Normal Zygote: A fertilized egg develops into one individual. http://www.mun.ca/biology/desmid/brian/BIOL3530/
32
Actually, some genomes are the same The zygotes develop into individuals with identical genomes. A multiplying zygote splits into two independent zygotes. Identical Twins: A fertilized egg splits into two identical zygotes early on. http://www.mun.ca/biology/desmid/brian/BIOL3530/

Genomic variants result in unique individuals
42
Big genomic variations allow for many different forms of life
43
Variations in the DNA of different individuals can cause changes in physical appearance or can even cause disease.

Variants can result in big changes The A variant at position 5,248,232 on chromosome 11 causes Sickle Cell Anemia. Sickle-shaped diseased red blood cell Normal red blood cell University of Michigan

51
The variant is correlated to the disease TATTAA Genotype Sickle Cell count steep slope = correlation
52
Other variants show no disease correlation The Sickle Cell A/T variant is the only variant correlated to the disease. Any other variant will not be correlated. For example: Chr11:119,553,795 C/A variant
53
Other variants show no disease correlation The Sickle Cell A/T variant is the only variant correlated to the disease. Any other variant will not be correlated. For example: Chr11:119,553,795 C/A variant Genotype Sickle Cell count CCCAAA

Other variants show no disease correlation The Sickle Cell A/T variant is the only variant correlated to the disease. Any other variant will not be correlated. For example: Chr11:119,553,795 C/A variant CCCAAA Genotype Sickle Cell count no slope = no correlation
55
Plot genotype vs. disease state to find how correlated a variant is to the disease TATTAA Genotype Disease Correlated Not Correlated CCCAAA Genotype Disease
