Do all diploid cells in the human body contain the same genetic material?

Yes. Every diploid cell in the same organism has same DNA, with the same information (excluding possible mutations). Depending on the type of cell different genes are enabled or disabled, but in a cell of your big toe all genetic info is present to work as a brain cell, and vice verse.
Exception: Chimerae, here two eggs with different genetic information resulted in one organism. The opposite of identical twins.

Are cells diploid or haploid at the end of cell division?
They are haploid. As meosis produces sex cells (sperm and eggs) they must have half the genetic material, so when fertilisation occurs the gamete formed has one full set of chromosomes, it is diploid.
What parts of a moss have diploid cells?
2 sets of chromosomes in their vegetative cells and are said to be diploid, both have the same or similar genetic information.
What does the word gametes mean in science terms?
Gametes are haploid cells containing half of the genetic material commonly found in a given human cell. i.e. A normal human cell contains 23 pairs of chromosomes (46 chromosomes)... gamete cells e.g. sperm and egg cells contain only 23 chromosomes and are therefore haploid, when fertilisation occurs, the 2 cells join creating a diploid cell with a full set of genetic material... excluding conditions such as Down's Syndrome.
How is genetic material organize in eukaryotic cells?
The genetic material of eukaryotic cells is organized in chromosomes.The genetic material of a cell contains information needed for the cells' growth and other activities. When a cell divides into 2 new cells, each new cell receives a full set of genetic material. The genetic material in cells is contained in DNA molecules. Source: "Cells and Heredity" (Biology book)
If the s phase were eliminated from the cell cycle the daughter cells would be?
the daughter cells would contain half the genetic material found in the parent cell because the S phase is the phase in which DNA is duplicated
How is the life cycle of diploid organisms useful in genetics studies?
The diploid organism contain the complete set of chromosomes, therefore all the genetic material are enclosed. As the cells split and reform they perpetuate genetic diversity.
What is the differences between haploid and diploid?
Diploid organisms contain the genetic material in two copies for a gene. Haploid organisms contain only single copy of every gene.
Does the plant cell or the animal cell contain genetic material?
Both animal and plant cells contain genetic material, DNA.
What percentage of the genetic material of their parent cells do they contain?
24
What types of cells contain DNA as there genetic material?
barack obama
What cell structure contains the majority of genetic material?
It's the nucleus.The structure of Eukaryotic cells that contain genetic material is the nucleus.
What cells contain RNA?
All Eukaryotic cells contain RNAIn Eukaryotic the cells contain a Nucleus.The nucleus house's the genetic material eg. DNA and RNA
Do protists have genetic material?
yes, DNA is found in the Nucleoid Region, then there are Plasmids, which also contain genetic material.
2 organelles that contain thereown genetic material?
Chloroplasts in plant cells and mitochondria in animal cells contain their own mitochondria
What Prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells?
prokaryotic cells have genetic material that is not contained in a nucleus.eukaryoutic cells contain an ucleus in which their genetic materal is separated fron the rest of the cell
Normal cell division results in the production of?
two diploid cells, each with the same amount of genetic material and the same genetic information.
What is a haploid cell in comparison to a diploid cell?
in humans, the haploid cells contain 23 chromosomes whereas the diploid cells contain 46
