    Germ cells, specifically sperm and egg cells, play a crucial role in the process of inheriting genes from parents. These cells are specialized for sexual reproduction and carry half the genetic material of a somatic cell. During fertilization, a sperm cell from the father fuses with an egg cell from the mother, resulting in the formation of a zygote. This zygote contains a complete set of genes, with half contributed by each parent. Germ cells thus serve as the vehicles for transmitting genetic information, ensuring the inheritance of traits from both maternal and paternal sources in the offspring.

    Germ cells generate a single set of genes from the usual two copies found in other body cells through a specialized cell division process called meiosis. In meiosis, germ cells undergo two consecutive divisions, resulting in the production of four haploid cells, each with half the usual number of chromosomes. This reduction in chromosome number ensures that when the sperm (from the father) and egg (from the mother) fuse during fertilization, the resulting zygote has the correct diploid number of chromosomes. This process ensures genetic diversity and the transmission of a unique combination of genes to the offspring.

By inserting two electrodes into distilled water a direct current does not flow through, but if the solution contains electrolytes the electrical current flows through the salt solutionRead more

  5. Molar Conductivity is defined as the Conductivity of the solution of an electrolyte divided by the Molar concentration of the electrolyte, and so gauges the efficiency with which an allotted electrolyte conducts electricity in solution.
