Have afib and now have been diagnosed with left bundle branch block no cardiac artery disease

GrogVix [38]

Well... I get the felling I know what question you are trying to ask. Atrial Fibrillation is a type of arrhythmia that interferes with the pumping of blood through the Atrium of the heart. A bundle branch block is an interference of the electrical system through the heart. Non of these are particularly that dangerousso don't worry about dying... Though have someone close by in case you go into Cardiac Arrest.

If your worried about getting a heart attack, that is a blood flow problem which can result from CAD. Don't worry though cause the two other condition do not particularly influence the other.

CAD is circulatory, A fib and branch block are electrical.

Answer:

47 chromosomes

Explanation:

Meiosis is a kind of division that reduces the chromosome number of the daughter cells by half i.e. 2n - n. It occurs only in reproductive cells to produce sex cells or gametes. In humans, meiosis occurs to produce gametes (egg and sperm) that have 23 haploid chromosomes.

N.B: Somatic human cells have 46 chromosomes

According to this question, a meiotic error occurred during gamete formation, resulting in an egg that has 24 chromosomes. If that egg is fertilized by a normal sperm i.e. sperm with 23 chromosomes. A zygote that posseses (23 + 24) = 47 chromosomes will be produced.

Animals are a major group of organisms, classified as the kingdom Animalia or metozoa. Animals have several characteristics that set them apart from other living things. They are all eukaryotic and usually multicellular, which separates them from bacteria and most protists. Different animals differ in their own characteristics such as appendages, segmentation among other animal characteristics.
