1 Germ cells have only half the number of chromosomes as a diploid cell one of each pair. 2  The number of chromosomes is reduced from 46 (23 pairs) to 23 during the process of meiosis. 3  Because they have only half the total chromosomes in a somatic cell, they are termed haploid (n) .II. Meiosis reduces chromosome number from diploid (2n) to haploid (n) 1 diploid cell (2n) cell becomes 4 haploid (n) germ cells (eggs or sperm). During meiosis, chromosomes are replicated once in S phase (just like mitosis) into sister chromatids, but the cell divides twice.
Quinine poisoning presents a unique toxicological syndrome comprising cardiovascular quinidine-like effects, visual loss, CNS signs and cinchonism (tinnitus, paraesthesiae, ataxia).n patients with unconsciousness and ECG changes the diagnosis of quinine poisoning is suggested by fixed dilated pupils (see also differential diagnosis of coma, seizures and arrhythmias). Includes maintenance of the airway and ventilation, IV access and fluids.
Although quinine has been used for hundreds of years to control symptoms of malaria, some people are very sensitive to side effects, even in the low doses found in a glass of tonic water (about 20 mg). Another reader reported: âI have been suffering with leg cramps for years and years. Recently my doctor told me about tonic water with quinine. It does help the leg cramps, but it is making me feel ill. My symptoms include fatigue, nausea and vomiting.
