As humans migrated throughout the world, populations encountered distinct pathogens, and natural selection increased the prevalence of alleles that are advantageous in the new ecosystems in both host and pathogens. This ancient history now influences human infectious disease susceptibility and microbiome homeostasis, and contributes to common diseases that show geographical disparities, such as autoimmune and metabolic disorders.

Why do sex cells only need half the number of chromosomes compared to other cells in a organism?

Viktor [21]

Answer:

Since a species' chromosome count doesn't change from generation to generation, meiosis requires that the number of chromosomes in germ cells be cut in half. Meiosis, unlike mitosis, achieves this accomplishment by requiring a single round of DNA replication followed by two rounds of cell division.
