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 that can cause painful swelling of the salivary glands, especially the parotid glands (between the ear and the jaw). Some people with mumps won't have gland swelling. They may feel like they have a bad cold or the flu instead.Mumps usually goes away on its own in about 10 days.his is called the incubation period. Some people who are infected with the mumps virus don't have any symptoms. If you have more serious symptoms, such as a stiff neck or a severe headache, painful testicles, or severe belly pain, call your doctor right away.
