3. Each cell in the human body contains exactly the same genome, and yet a human being
at maturity is a complex organism with trillions of cells that belong to different types
and perform different functions. Explain.


4. In humans, what are the random and non-random events in sexual reproduction (postmeiosis) that ultimately determine the genetic makeup of the offspring? How will this information guide you in the future, in the case you already engage in the reproductiveprocess to produce offspring?


5. Hypothetical situation/ analogy: You woke up one day having the sexual life cycle of a plant. Describe and briefly explain how this would affect your ability to find a mate and reproduce, as compared to having the sexual life cycle of a human.
