Basically 4 sperms per meiosis, so to speak. Chromosomes are sequestered into each sperm as a whole, so whatever gene is on it goes with it. Each chromosome has loads of genes, we still do not know all of their functions.
What do you mean by regulatory and specialized genes?
Oh I see.
By regulatory genes I mean a gene "involved in controlling the expression of one or more other gene," like hox or pax genes. These are the genes that make all mammals vertebrates, with four limbs, two eyes, etc.
And specialized genes would include features like eye color, hair color, fitness, etc.
Oh alright. Yea it depends on what chromosomes they're on. Best to look at classifications as just a way human organize stuff instead of an actual manifestation of reality, it's often not a dichotomy but a mixture of everything because biology is a really messy science.
