Oak Anthracnose. Anthracnose is a general term used to describe diseases that result in a wide range of symptoms including leaf spots, blotches or distortion, defoliation, shoot blight, twig cankers and dieback on many different deciduous trees and shrubs. In most cases, anthracnose does not cause permanent damage to established trees.
1 Germ cells have only half the number of chromosomes as a diploid cell Â­ one of each pair-and are termed haploid (n) . 2  In a human egg or sperm, there are 23 chromosomes, one of which is an X or Y. 3  The number of chromosomes is reduced from 46 to 23 during the process of meiosis.
Best Answer: A human body cell would have 46 chromosomes. Since a human egg cell is a reproductive cell (sex cell), it would contain only half the number of chromosomes as a body cell. Thus, a human egg cell would have 23 chromosomes. A sex cell has half the number of chromosomes for a good reason. When two sex cells reproduce, they combine to form double the number of chromosomes. So when two cells with 23 chromosomes each reproduce, the offspring would have 46 chromosomes. To keep humans at 46 chromosomes per cell, sex cells are produced through meiosis, which is a process that creates cells with half the number of chromosomes.
