Germ cells are different from somatic cells in a critical way. Whereas somatic cells are diploid, meaning they have two copies of each chromosome, germ cells are haploid. The haploid nature of germ cells is vital to the process of sexual reproduction. There are two different sex cells or gametes: sperm and eggs. Males produce sperm and females produce eggs.
But rules in baseball are selectively enforced all the timeâjust look at what happened with the pick-up-the-rug-and-repeatedly-sweep steroid debacle. Pete Rose didnât throw games like the Chicago White Sox players did in the 1919 World Series. Rose always tried to win when he managed the Cincinnati Reds.
We all know why Pete Rose was banned from Major League Baseball for life. The all-time hit kingâs love of gambling eventually got in the way, and the former member of the Cincinnati Redsâ greatest teams was banished. He has âapologizedâ for that over the years, and now heâs apologizing for another pretty grave transgression: shooting President John F. Kennedy. On Sunday, a Reddit user shared a baseball signed by Rose, which also featured the message âIâm sorry I shot J.F.K.â. Anyone who knows anything about the autograph game knows there arenât many signings Rose will turn down, especially if the price is right. So with the market saturated, maybe this is Roseâs new thing.
