Arborjet > Diseases > Anthracnose. Anthracnose (leaf blight) is a fungus that winters on twig tissue on the tree. In the spring, spores are transported to new buds and shoots. The disease is enhanced by cool, wet conditions. Infected leaves develop tan to reddish brown lesions that extend along the veins of the leaf.
These tables give the total number of chromosomes (including sex chromosomes) in a cell nucleus. For example, human cells are diploid and have 22 different types of autosome, each present as two copies, and two sex chromosomes. This gives 46 chromosomes in total.
Best Answer: Meiosis is 2 cell divisions. The first reduces the chromosomes number in half. The second is equal (mitosis) division. A diploid cell has 46 chromosomes. Before starting meiosis, the chromosomes replicate (becoming double). So 46 double chromosomes separate into 2 cells of 23 double chromosomes each.
