What happens to the number of white blood cells in the body during an infection?
The number of white blood cells increase during an infection, so they can fight off the pathogens quicker.
Is the number of gametes twice the number of chromosomes found in the body cells?
Gametes are cells, in humans they contain 23 chromosomes. Body Cells (Properly Called: Somatic Cells) in humans contain 46 chromosomes (2 sets of 23). Some differences or problems can cause this number to change in specific humans, gametes, and somatic cells. Muscle cells may have hundreds of chromosomes, red blood cells have none.
What is the difference between hypertrophy and hyperlasia?
The difference between hypertrophy and hyperplasia is size. With hypertrophy there is an increase in the size of a body organ. In hyperplasia there is an increase in the number of cells in an organ.

What process causes the number of cells to increase?
The process that causes the number of cells to increase is called cell division or cell proliferation. During cell division, a single cell divides into two identical daughter cells. This process allows for growth, as well as the replacement and repair of damaged or old cells in the body.
