Eggs are the highest cholesterol food known to man. An August 2012 headline from The Atlantic summed it up: Eggs Are Nearly as Bad for Your Arteries as Cigarettes. The Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine reports that eggs have been linked to increased risk of colon cancer, rectal cancer, and bladder cancer. "Eggs have zero dietary fiber, are devoid of cancer-fighting antioxidants, and about 60 percent of the calories in eggs are from fat-a big portion of which is saturated fat. They are also loaded with cholesterol-about 213 milligrams for an average-sized egg." Several studies link egg consumption with ovarian cancer, including the Nurse's Health Study, and studies published in Cancer Epidemiology, Biomarkers & Prevention, the American Journal of Epidemiology, the Journal of the National Cancer Institute, and the Asian Pacific Journal of Cancer Prevention. Eggs increase the risk for not only Heart disease, but also for Diabetes (the leading cause of lower-limb amputations, kidney failure, and new cases of blindness), according to a meta-analysis published inAtherosclerosis. People who consumed the most eggs had a 68% increased risk for developing diabetes, compared with those who ate the fewest eggs. For those who already had diabetes, the risk for developing heart disease from eating the most eggs jumped by 83%. Even just a single egg a week may increase the risk of diabetes. Because conditions on egg farms are crowded, eggs are plagued with salmonella and other bacteria that lead to recalls and public health threats. Because of this, many egg farms rely heavily on antibiotics, contributing to the development of antibiotic-resistant superbugs.

How do the number of chromosomes in a female scorpion's egg cells compare with the number in her body (somatic) cells?
There are 46 chromosomes in your body cells. The egg cells have half the amount of chromosomes as the body cells, so there are 23 chromosomes in the egg cells.
Can an egg be fertilized if the sperm is already in the body?
No, for fertilization to occur, the sperm needs to be deposited into the female reproductive system, specifically the fallopian tubes where it can meet an egg. If the sperm is already in the body, it would need to travel through the cervix, uterus, and into the fallopian tubes to reach the egg.
When a mature egg is removed from the female body for fertilization outside of the body?
spot on
What is a haploid female sex cell?

Why are ovarie importance?
They are important because they are the one who is responsible for ripening of the egg,for the development of female characteristics of a female body,and for supporting early pregnancy.
Why ovary important?

Why is meiosis important to process of sexual reproduction?
Meiosis results in haploid gametes, sperm and egg cells. When the sperm fertilizes the egg, the resulting cell will be diploid, which is the condition of normal body cells.
Why do pregnant women not menstruate?
Menstruation is body getting rid of the egg. If the egg is fertilized, the woman is pregnant, the body will not get rid of it.

Approximately 14 days after a females menstrual periods, she will release an egg (known as ovulation). This egg will hang out for a couple days in the fallopian tubes to be fertilized. If the egg is not fertilized by a males sperm, it is then released from her body.

What is happening inside a chickens body when there are laying a egg?
They are having contractions to push the egg out.
Why is it important to have half as many chromosomes as normal body cells?
The gametes must have half as many chromosomes as normal body cells because they unite to form a zygote, which is the first body cell of the new organism. For example, human body cells have 46 chromosomes and human gametes (sperm and egg cells) have 23 chromosomes. When the sperm fertilizes the egg, the zygote will have 46 chromosomes, and is the first body cell of the new human.
