How does human evolution or natural selection relate to susceptibility of disease

1 answer:

4 0

Susceptibility to disease means that a person is likely to fall ill, if they are in contact with germs.

Many diseases kill people, so those that are more susceptible to diseases are more likely to die before their reproductive age. Some diseases make people infertile; so in short - susceptibility to disease means that people are less likely to reproduce and spread their genes, so the entire population will be less susceptible to these diseases in the future - and this process is called natural selection!

shusha [124]

Both mitosis and meiosis are a cell division process having various similarities and differences.

Similarities between the process of mitosis and meiosis include:

Both the processes are cell division process.
Both the processes occur in the nucleus of a cell.
Both the processes result in the formation of daughter cells.
The main phases are the same in both the processes

The differences between mitosis and meiosis include:

As a result of mitosis, two daughter cells are formed. As a result of meiosis, four daughter cells are formed.
The process of mitosis occurs in somatic cells whereas the process of meiosis occurs in reproductive cells.
The daughter cells formed as a result of mitosis are the exact copies of parent cell. In the process of meiosis, genetic recombination occurs and hence the daughter cells are not exact copies of parent cells.
