In humans:
Correct answer: C. Same type of eggs are produced
- A. Same type of gametes are produced
- B. Same type of sperms are produced
- C. Same type of eggs are produced
- D. Different type of eggs are produced
Explanation
In humans, gamete production differs between males and females. Males produce two types of sperm - one carrying the X chromosome and the other carrying the Y chromosome, making them heterogametic. In contrast, females produce only one type of egg, each carrying the X chromosome, making them homogametic. Therefore, the correct option is that the same type of eggs are produced. Options A and D incorrectly suggest similarity or variation in gamete types that don't apply to human females. Option B incorrectly describes sperm production as uniform, which is not the case.

About Inheritance
Mendel's laws explain segregation, independent assortment and the prediction of genetic ratios using alleles, genotypes and phenotypes. The chapter also covers linked genes, recombination and crossing over during meiosis, then applies pedigree reasoning to X-linked recessive traits, which show different inheritance patterns in males and females.
