Humans are heterotrophs.

<em><u>Here is why:</u></em>

Heterotrophs are organisms that <em>cannot </em>make their own food. Although us humans can cook, we can not take energy from the sun and make it into glucose, making energy for ourselves.

On the other hand, autotrophs are algae, plants, and even some bacteria. All of these examples <em>can </em>make their own food. They use the process of <u>photosynthesis</u> to take energy from the sun, along with carbon dioxide from the air and water from the soil around it to produce glucose. This glucose is used as their energy, which they make independently.

What changes occur in the genes of sex cell
Flauer [41]
During Telophase 2, a nuclear envelope forms around each set of new chromosomes. In this stage, cytokinesis occurs, which is responsible for producing four daughter cells each with a haploid set of chromosomes. During the crossing-over phase some chromosomes are observed to have segments that have recombined with the original parent chromosomes.   
<span>
When the phase is over, the two cells are now finally separated and their nuclear membranes are fully formed causing the meiosis cell division to be completed.</span>
