will assume that you mean human cells. Somatic cells are diploid (2n), containing two sets of chromosomes, one of paternal, one of maternal origin. Gametes, on the other hand, are haploid (n), with a single set of chromosomes, ie. half as many as the somatic cell. Now, the haploid chromosome number (n) is characteristic of the species, and in humans this number happens to be 23. Therefore a human gamete has 23 chromosomes, and a human somatic cell 23 pairs, or 46 chromosomes.
House flies have 12 pairs of chromosomes in their diploid cells, totaling 24 chromosomes.
A diploid cell contains two sets of homologous chromosomes, with one chromosome from each parent forming each pair. Therefore, there are typically 23 pairs of homologous chromosomes in a diploid human cell, totaling 46 chromosomes.
Haploid gametes have half the number of chromosomes as a diploid cell, so in humans, there are 23 chromosomes in a haploid gamete.
23. Germ cells (sperm and egg cells) are haploid, which is to say they possess half of the total number of chromosomes found in somatic cells. Somatic cells in humans have two sets of 23 unique chromosomes for a total of 46 chromosomes.
If gametes were diploid, the zygote would contain double the number of chromosomes found in a typical diploid zygote. So, if a human diploid cell normally has 46 chromosomes, a diploid gamete would have 46 chromosomes as well, resulting in a zygote with 92 chromosomes.
A human diploid cell has 23 pairs of chromosomes.
There are 38 chromosomes in a cat's diploid cell. Diploid cells always have an even number of chromosomes because they exist in pairs.
Each daughter cell produced by meiosis will have half the number of chromosomes as the original diploid cell. So, if a diploid cell contains 28 chromosomes, each daughter cell will have 14 chromosomes after meiosis.
goats have 60 diploid chromesones, which means they have 30 sets.

A diploid cell has two sets of chromosomes, while a haploid cell has only one set of chromosomes. This means that the number of chromosomes in a diploid cell is double that of a haploid cell.
The domestic dog, Canis lupus familiaris has a diploid number of 78 chromosomes.
A somatic, diploid corn cell has 20 pairs of chromosomes, for a total of 40 chromosomes.
