Question

Sexually reproducing organisms produce gametes by the process of?

  1. Mitosis

  2. Meiosis

  3. Cytokinesis

  4. Cell division

hintHint:

The gametes in humans are formed by this process.

The correct answer is:

Meiosis


    • Derived from the Greek melon, meaning "to make smaller," meiosis refers to the specialized process by which gametes divide to produce gametes.
    • Since the chromosome number of a species remains the same across generations, the germ cell chromosome number must be halved during meiosis.

    Hemophilia disease is produced in the male by how many gene/s?

    • Genetic disorders can be chromosomal, multifactorial and monogenic
    • Hemophilia is a blood disorder that delays blood clotting or hemostasis
    • Blood clotting is a result of cascade of reactions done by clotting factors (1 to 12)
    • Absence of clotting factor VIII or IX causes hemophilia
    • Gene (F8 or F9) responsible for hemophilia is present in X chromosome

    How do genetic disorders happen?

    • Genetic disorder is due to alteration in gene sequence
    • The gene sequence change can occur in a cell irrespective of type of cell division a cell undergoes
    • Mutation can occur at any point of cell division
    • Trisomy can be attributed as a result of meiosis
