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.
All of your body cells, except eggs and sperm cells, have two sets of 23 chromosomes, for a total of 46 chromosomes. Having two sets of chromosomes is called diploid and designated as 2n. Eggs and sperm cells are called gametes, and they have only one set of 23 chromosomes, which is called a haploid, or n.When two haploid gametes (one egg and one sperm cell) fuse during fertilization, a diploid cell is produced.f everything goes smoothing during meiosis, chromosomes will be separated and distributed evenly to produce four haploid gametes. However, sometimes chromosomes do not separate properly. This is called nondisjunction and results in gametes with either too many or too few chromosomes.
