11.

The four cells at the bottom of the diagram are significant because -

a)

they contain half of the normal chromosomal number of the species to which they belong. This allows combination with another sex cell for reproduction of a new individual with genes from two separate parents.

b)

they can reproduce themselves to create a new organism without genetic input from another of their species, allowing for continuing reproduction of the species.

c)

they have a special cell membrane which allows them to transfer DNA to another of their species and thus share genes which may help others survive difficult environmental conditions.

d)

they express only the genetic sequences required for their particular function in the body and so have a special structure which allows them to perform their function. As a result, they are known as differentiated somatic cells.

a)

somatic cells.
