This could be due to a malfunction of her thymus.

The thymus is a soft triangular shaped organ that is situated in the mediastinum of the thoracic cavity. The thymus is the predominant donor of cells for the lymphatic system. The thymus performs an important role in the training and growth of T cells (thymus-derived cells) that are produced in the red bone marrow. The T cells defend the body by destroying infected or cancerous cells and harmful pathogens such as bacteria, viruses, and fungi. The thymus also helps in the proper growth of other organs within the immune system.

How many sperm cells are formed from an original cell in a Drosophila fruit fly at the conclusion of meiosis?
julsineya [31]

Answer:

C. Four Haploid Sperm Cells

Explanation:

Meiosis is a cell division measure that creates four haploid cells (gametes) from a solitary diploid germline cell. In males, meiosis is essential for spermatogenesis, the cycle to produce sperm. Sperm are the haploid cells that are produced in meiosis.  

Meiosis is a profoundly moderated cell division measure in eukaryotes that produces 4 cells (gametes) from a solitary cell (mother). Nonetheless, Nondisjunction in the male of Drosophila causes much of the time sperm with an addition or loss of chromosomes.
