Haploid refers to having only one set of chromosomes, while diploid refers to having two sets of chromosomes. Body cells are diploid, while sex cells are haploid. In humans, diploid cells have two sets of 23 chromosomes for a total of 46, and haploid cells have one set of 23 chromosomes.

JudyHaploid cells have one set of chromosomes, while diploid cells have two sets. Haploid cells are typically produced through meiosis, whereas diploid cells are the result of fertilization. Organisms with a haploid-diploid life cycle alternate between phases of haploid and diploid cells.

If the diploid number of chromosomes is 54 what is the haploid number?
The haploid number is half of the diploid number. So, if the diploid number is 54, then the haploid number would be 27.
Are zygospores hapliod or diploid?
Zygospores are diploid structures formed by the fusion of gametes from two haploid parent cells.
Is a zygote haploid or diploid?
A zygote is diploid.
Are gametes haploid or diploid?
Gametes are haploid, meaning they have half the number of chromosomes as diploid cells.
What is the symbol for diploid and haploid?
The symbol for diploid is 2n, indicating two sets of chromosomes. The symbol for haploid is n, indicating one set of chromosomes.
Is Cardamine douglassii a haploid or diploid?
diploid, except for its gametes, which are haploid
Is an ovum a diploid or haploid?
ovum isalways haploid and when a haploid sperm fertilize it the embryo become diploid
If the diploid number of chromosomes is 54 what is the haploid number?
The haploid number is half of the diploid number. So, if the diploid number is 54, then the haploid number would be 27.
Is stigma diploid or haploid?
Diploid
Is a zygote diploid or haploid?
its a diploid.
Is sporozoite diploid or haploid?
haploid
Are zygospores hapliod or diploid?
Zygospores are diploid structures formed by the fusion of gametes from two haploid parent cells.
If the haploid number is seven what is the diploid number?
The diploid number is twice the haploid number, so if the haploid number is seven, the diploid number would be 14.
Is meiosis haploid or diploid?
The parent cell is diploid. The daughter cells are haploid.
What is the human diploid and haploid numbers?
diploid n= 46 haploid n= 23
Is an early embryo a diploid or haploid?
Diploid
Is a zygote haploid or diploid?
A zygote is diploid.
