Normal body cells (in this example, any non-sex cell of the deer) contain a full set of all of the deer's chromosomes (or 2 n chromosomes), and are called diploid cells. In this case, 2 n =70.Normal body cells or dipoid cells may also be referred to as somatic cells in some texts.ametes or sex cells are also called haploid cells, because they have half the genetic information (half of the chromosomes) found in a normal cell in the body of an organism.
Mumps is caused by the mumps virus, which belongs to a family of viruses known as paramyxoviruses. These viruses are a common source of infection, particularly in children.
Mumps is an infection caused by a virus. It mainly affects the salivary glands but sometimes other parts of the body are affected. Mumps normally affects children, but can occur at any age.Mumps is now rare in the UK as children are routinely immunised against mumps. The testicles (testes) are sometimes affected. 2  One testicle (testis) may become inflamed, swollen, and painful for about a week. 3  This is uncommon in young children. 4  However, about 1 in 4 males who get mumps over the age of 12 years will develop a painful swollen testis. 5  Occasionally, both testes are affected.
