Two major functions of testis are:
1) Production of sperms by seminiferous tubules by the process of spermatogenesis.
2) Production of male *** hormone, testosterone by Leydig cells.
Two major functions of ovary are:

Down syndrome is a chromosomal disorder. It is due to aneuploidy of the autosome. There is one extra chromosome 21 or part of the chromosome present in all the cells or some cells.
The occurrence of Down syndrome is 1:800 live births. The major risk factor is the age of the mother. Most of the trisomy cases occur in the mother having age more than 35.
Down syndrome is caused due to abnormal cell division. During mitotic and meiotic cell division the chromosome pair separate so that each cell gets the copy of each chromosome. In down syndrome, the chromosomes are not able to separate, giving rise to cells with an unequal number of chromosomes. This phenomenon is called nondisjunction.
Nondisjunction happens, when chromosome segregates in anaphase before all of the replicated chromosomes’ kinetochores are attached to microtubules from opposite poles during metaphase. It results in one daughter cell having less chromosome and another with one extra chromosome.

The field of molecular biology studies macromolecules and the macromolecular mechanisms found in living things, such as the molecular nature of the gene and its mechanisms of gene replication, mutation, and expression. Given the fundamental importance of these macromolecular mechanisms throughout the history of molecular biology, a philosophical focus on the concept of a mechanism generates the clearest picture of molecular biology’s history, concepts, and case studies utilized by philosophers of science.

Biodiversity loss, also called loss of biodiversity, a decrease in biodiversity within a species, an ecosystem, a given geographic area, or Earth as a whole. Biodiversity loss disrupts the functioning of ecosystems, making them more vulnerable to perturbations and less able to supply humans with needed services. Biodiversity loss can have significant direct human health impacts if ecosystem services are no longer adequate to meet social needs. Indirectly, changes in ecosystem services affect livelihoods, income, local migration and, on occasion, may even cause political conflict.

The stigma, together with the style and ovary comprises the pistil, which in turn is part of the gynoecium or female reproductive organ of a plant. The stigma forms the distal portion of the style or stylodia. The stigma is composed of stigmatic papillae, the cells which are receptive to pollen. These may be restricted to the apex of the style or, especially in wind pollinated species, cover a wide surface.
The stigma receives pollen and it is on the stigma that the pollen grain germinates. Often sticky, the stigma is adapted in various ways to catch and trap pollen with various hairs, flaps, or sculpturings. The pollen may be captured from the air (wind-borne pollen, anemophily), from visiting insects or other animals (biotic pollination), or in rare cases from surrounding water (hydrophily). Stigma can vary from long and slender to globe shaped to feathery.
Pollen is typically highly desiccated when it leaves an anther. Stigma have been shown to assist in the rehydration of pollen and in promoting germination of the pollen tube. Stigma also ensure proper adhesion of the correct species of pollen. Stigma can play an active role in pollen discrimination and some self-incompatibility reactions, that reject pollen from the same or genetically similar plants, involve interaction between the stigma and the surface of the pollen grain.

The replication machinery must have access to the leading and laggings strands for replication, and it must be able to open and stabilize the template DNA. The replication fork is the area where the replication of DNA will actually take place. There are two strands of DNA that are exposed once the double helix is opened. One strand is referred to as the leading strand, and the other strand is referred to as the lagging strand. During DNA replication a DNA double helix must unwind and separate so that DNA polymerase enzymes can use each single strand as a template for the synthesis of a new double strand.

Aristotle is known as the “Father of Biology” because he extensively studied the natural world and contemplated its origins using scientific insights and systematic observations rather than attributing it to divine intervention. He was also the first to uncover the relationship between animals and establish a system of classification.

Aneuploidy is the presence of an abnormal number of chromosomes in a cell. There is an extra chromosome present in this case.
Polyploidy is the presence of the extra set of the chromosome in the cells. There is a complete new set of the chromosome present. All the given conditions are the cases of aneuploidy. There are less or more number of chromosomes in the same set.

Gene is located on the chromosome. | Chromosomes are the packed structure of a DNA with proteins. |
Genes are not visible under the microscope. | Chromosomes are visible under the microscope. |
A single gene is a locus on a chromosome. | A single chromosome comprises of many genes. |
Genes are composed of either DNA or RNA. | Chromosomes are composed of DNA, histones, and RNA. |
Gene mutations are small. | Chromosomal mutations are relatively large. |
Gene mutations lead to point mutations and frameshift mutations: insertions and deletions | Chromosomal mutations lead to chromosomal abnormalities such as deletion, duplication, rearrangement and inversion of genes. |
