Meiosis produces cells (germ cells or gametes) with only half the DNA, or chromosomes, as normal cells (somatic cells). This is called haploid or referred to as "n" number of chromosomes. Normal body cells have doubke that, called "2n," or diploid. For humans our n = 23, so germ cells (haploid) have only 23 chromosomes, while somatic (normal body) cells have "2n" or 46 chromosomes. It is important to only carry half the number of chromosomes or DNA (n), because it is going to combine with another half (n) when sperm meets egg during fertilization. This n + n = 2n restores the diploid number of chromosomes (DNA) in a zygote, the first cell of a future embryo, fetus, and new human being.

Scleral hemorrhage

  • Scleral hemorrhage also known as subconjunctival hemorrhage
  • When small and delicate blood vessels break beneath the tissue covering the white of the eye (conjunctiva), resulting eye redness then this condition is known as subconjunctival hemorrhage
  • A subconjunctival hemorrhage usually is benign, causing no vision problems or significant eye discomfort despite its conspicuous appearance
  • But eye redness also can be a sign of other types of potentially serious eye conditions
