<u>Answer</u>: Sperm cell
<u>Explanation</u>:
Amongst all the 4 options given, only the Sperm cell is a gamete (sex cell) while all the three are somatic cells.
- A <em>somatic</em> cell is the one which forms the body of an organism and contains all the genetic information.
- A <em>gamete</em> is the one which is required for the purpose of fertilization. A gamete of male fuses with the gamete of female in a process called fertilization to form a zygote to give rise to a new individual.
- A Sperm cell is basically a <em>male gamete.</em> It contains only half the amount of genetic information as the other half is contributed by the female gamete.
- This difference in the amount of genetic information arises due to the type of cell division that occurs. The somatic cells undergo mitosis whereas a gamete requires meiosis to occur for its formation.
- During mitosis there is a single round of cell division which divides the parent cell into two daughter cells each with the <em>complete genetic information</em>.
- During meiosis the cell undergoes two rounds of cell division such that a total lf 4 cells are produced each <em>with half the amount of genetic material </em>as present in the parent cell.
Since, <em>sperm is a male gamete and is formed by meiosis it contains only half the genetic information as compared to the other cells.</em>
<u>Answer:</u>
All cells have same genes, but different genes are active in different cells
<u>Explanation:</u>
Most living organisms are made up of different kinds of cells specialize in performing various functions like nerve cells perform different functions than blood cells. But all the cells are composed of same set of genetic information.
Since biochemical function is found out mainly by some specific enzymes, different sets of genes must be turned on and off in the various cell types to perform different functions. This is how cells differentiate for different functional capabilities.
Rosalind Franklin. is the answer
Answer:
Homologous chromosomes are paired early in the cell reproduction process. and one pair of sex chromosomes The autosomes carry the genes that determine most body characteristics
