Birds, insects, and many reptiles excrete nitrogenous waste in the form of uric acid, which saves water.
Nitrogenous waste in the body tend to form toxic ammonia, which must be excreted. Mammals such as human excrete urea, while birds, reptiles, and some terrestrial invertebrates produce uric acid as waste in the form of a white paste or power. The production of uric acid involves a complex metabolic pathway that is energetically costly in comparison to processing of other nitrogenous wastes such as urea or ammonia, it has the advantages of reducing water loss and, hence, reducing the need for water.
Humans usually have 46 chromosomes. Monkeys, chimps, or other organisms related closely to them: they have diploid number of 48 chromosomes.
(Future reference: Haploid means half, half the # of chromosomes in the nucleus. Diploids means duplicate, COMPLETE necessary set of chromosomes).
