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 a contagious viral infection spread by bodily fluids that causes uncomfortable symptoms like swelling of the salivary glands, fever, body aches, and fatigue. In some cases, people who contract mumps have no symptoms. Rarely, people will develop serious complications with mumps, including inflammation of the brain and spinal cord. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention report less than 1000 cases annually, thanks to widespread vaccination.
