A liquid that has a pH of 7 is considered to be neutral (pure water is generally considered to have a neutral pH). Fluids that have a pH below 7 - like lemon juice and coffee-are considered to be acidic. And fluids that have a pH above 7 - like human blood and milk of magnesia-are considered to be alkaline.
The result is an egg or sperm with only 23 chromosomes. When fertilization occurs, the normal 46 total number of chromosomes results in the fetus. If meiosis does not occur properly, an egg or sperm could end up with too many chromosomes, or not enough chromosomes.he result is an egg or sperm with only 23 chromosomes.

WHAT IS A TRUE EGG? âEggsâ are produced in the ovaries, BUT these are not true eggs yet, and will never complete meiosis (a special type of cell division) and become true eggs unless OR until they are first fertilized by a sperm. Within the ovary, a follicle consists of one potential egg cell surrounded by special cells to nourish and protect it. HOW MANY EGGS DOES A WOMAN ACTUALLY HAVE? A human female typically has about 400,000 follicles/potential eggs, all formed before birth. Only several hundred (about 480) of these âeggsâ will actually ever be released during her reproductive years.
