If you're talking about a human cell, then no. Diploid means you have two complete sets of chromosome. For a human, this would be 46. A human cell is haploid when it has only 23 chromosomes - this is the case for the sex cells: sperm and egg each have 23 chromosomes.
The issue can be confused if you discuss chromosome pairs...in which case, 23 pairs of chromosomes in a human cell makes it a diploid cell.

How are diploid and haploid cells different from each other?
Haploid (prefix ha- half) Diploid (prefix di- two) Haploid cells have 23 chromosomes. Diploid cells have 46 chromosomes. Haploid cells contain HALF the number of chromosomes whereas a Diploid has 2x the chromosomes a haploid cell has. 23 -- Haploid x 2 ---- 46 -- Diploid
How many chromosomes in a spermatid?
A primary spermatocyte will have 46 chromosomes or chromatids. Primary spermatocytes are diploid cells. Secondary spermatocytes are haploid cells with only 23 chromosomes.
How does the number of chromosomes in a diploid compare to the number of chromosomes in a haploid?
The diploid number is "2n" and the haploid number is "n". Humans have 46 chromosomes, which are equal to the diploid number. half of these chromosomes are the haploid number, which is = 23.
What does mean to say a cell is disploid?
when the cell has complete chromosomes. For animal cells, diploid cells have 23 pairs of chromosomes
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

How are haploid and diploid related?
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.
What is a cell with pairs of chromosomes called?
Somatic (diploid) cells have pairs of chromosomes. They have 46 chromosomes, making 23 pairs.Gametes are sex cells (eggs and sperm), they only have 23 chromosomes total. This is because they will combine with another gamete to form an embryo that will have 46.
How many chromosomes in a spermatid?
A primary spermatocyte will have 46 chromosomes or chromatids. Primary spermatocytes are diploid cells. Secondary spermatocytes are haploid cells with only 23 chromosomes.
Through the process of meiosis sex cells are produced that are?
Haploid cells, as opposed to diploid cells. Haploid cells contain only 23 chromosomes, but normal diploid cells contain 46 chromosomes.

How many chromosomes does a germ cell contain?
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.
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
Do diploid have chromosomes?
Yes, diploid cells do have chromosomes. These cells are created during mitosis.
What is dipliod chromosomes?
A diploid has the full set of 46 chromosomes as opposed to 23 in a haploid. The germ cells (egg or sperm) are haploid and comtain a single set of chromosomes -23 in humans. During fertilisation the fusion of two germ cells each with only there haploid number of chromosomes (referred to as n) fuse, resultng in a diploid zygote with a full set of 46 chromosomes, half from the female and half from the male. Known as 2n. In animals all cells except the sex cells are diploid.
