Organisms reproduce either by the fusion of gametes (sexually) or without the development of gametes (asexually). In sexual reproduction, the fusion of egg and sperm is known as fertilisation. The nucleus of the sperm and the egg fuses to form a single nucleus. It result...
is through the process of meiosis that haploid gametes are produced. Hence, there is half reduction in the number of chromosomes in a parent diploid cell. In organisms such as algae, there is a haploid portion of their life cycle. Male ants are haploid entities all through their life cycle...
In order to take care of the patient's mood, for example, doctors in the diagnostic report will usually difficult to cure diseases using abbreviations to indicate to patients to conceal the true condition, such as ca (cancer) said that the cancer vd (venereal disease. ) that sexually transmi...
Reduced effective population size (Ne) in mitochondrial DNA compared to nuclear DNA (a quarter in most sexually reproductive organisms, a third in the present case, due to haplodiploidy) often causes a high mutation rate in mitochondrial DNA resulting in less resolved internal relationship in ...
