The acidity of a solution is typically measured by pH. A pH of 7 is neutral. A pH below 7 is acidic, and a pH above 7 is basic, or alkalotic. Normal blood pH is 7.4. Having acid in the blood means that the pH is below 7.4, and excessive protons may be found in the blood.
The number of chromosomes in the secondary spermatocyte are 23 but each chromosome having two chromatids, while the chromosomes in the spermatid are also 23 but each chromosome is made up of one chromatid.
Unlike the bodyâs other cells, the cells in the egg and sperm â called gametes or sex cells â possess only one chromosome. Gametes are produced by meiosis cell division, which results in the divided cells having half the number of chromosomes as the parent, or progenitor, cells. In the case of humans, this means that parent cells have two chromosomes and gametes have one. During fertilization, gametes from the sperm combine with gametes from the egg to form a zygote. The zygote contains two sets of 23 chromosomes, for the required 46.
