Re: what is gametes in DNA?

... with it? That is, does DNA have a fixed number of genes, such that the specific number of genes must be maintained--otherwise the DNA would be defective? Do both gamete mates necessarily have the same number of genes? And the same number of nucleotides in the DNA molecule? No. To all questions.

... sickles those hemoglobins (in heterozygotes, who have a decent percentage of sickle-cell hemoglobins in each cell), and the cell is processed as defective - that is, killed. I think by T cells, but I've forgotten that detail. So homozygous "regular" hemoglobins puts one at greater risk ...
