A human body cell has 46 chromosomes. Female egg cell has 23 chromosomes.

Further Explanation:

Sexual reproduction is the major method of reproduction in a variety of microscopic organisms. It almost includes all the plants and animals. The main process in sexual reproduction is:

meiosis
fertilization

Fertilization is a process of the fusion of gametes which are sperm and egg results in the diploid zygote. In meiosis ploidy level of germ cell get halved. Meiosis involves crossing over in between the non-sister chromatid of the homologous chromosome thus leads to genetic variation.

After fertilization, meiosis occurs and crossing over takes place which transfer the genetic information from parents to offspring. The human cell consists of 46 Chromosomes. Therefore, the female egg cell would have a set of 23 chromosomes. Also, the male have a set of 23 chromosomes. By fertilization they give rise to a set of 46 chromosomes in the offspring.

1. Dr. Lairmore makes the point that veterinarians don't just treat "the animal," but approach treatment from a "one health" per

poizon [28]

Other things veterinarians are looking at is the boundary between animals, people, and the environment. Veterinarians need to work with human doctors to work on food safety, problems connected to cancer, etc. Veterinarians and human doctors can get facts from each other. The problems we face in society means that they have to cooperate with both the animal health side, the human health side, and environment side as well. One way they think of “one health” is evolving viruses. They are looking at this to find a solution by the use of comparative medicine and observing the environment.
