Which types of human cells undergo meiosis?
This form of cellular division results in the production of gametes, or sex cells, that have just one copy of each chromosome (the haploid number) as opposed to two copies of each chromosome (the diploid number). Human gametes are more commonly known as sperm cells and egg cells.
Are the gamete cell of your body haploid or diploid?
Human muscle cells are diploid.All human cells are diploid except for gametes (sperms and ova) and the cells that divide to form them (secondary spermatocytes and secondary oocytes).
How many diploid in humans?
The diploid human cells have 46 chromosomes in each cell. Out of these 46, twenty two pairs (44 in total) are autosomes and one pair (two chromosomes) are sex chromosomes. In female both sex chromosomes are identical and called xx type, whereas in male one sex chromosome is very small in comparison to the other, being termed as y. Thus male human being has xy type of sex chromosomes. Thus on the basis of sex chromosomes one can determine each human body cell from male or female individual.
Can you compare the chromosomes of diploid cell to a shoe closet?
The diploid cells come in twenty three pairs of chromosomes. just like twenty three pairs of shoes. Each always has two.
Do embryonic stem cells contain half the number of chromosomes found in a zygote?
No. Stem cells are diploid just like any other body cell.
Why do diploid cells undergo meiosis?
Meiosis is needed to produce healthy offspring with a diploid chromosome set. Therefore, the diploid set from the mother as well as that one of the father needs to be reduced in half. So these reduced cells with haploid chromosome sets can merge and produce one diploid set. Without that reduction, two diploid sets would merge and the offspring would have a tetraploid set (=4 different allels for one gene). Maybe that's not that fatal. But just think furhter. If two of such children would reproduce, the outcome would be offspring with a octaploid set (= 8 copies for the same gene)!

How can you compare and contrast the terms haploid and diploid?
Diploid means to contain two sets of chromosomes. This is what the somatic (non-sex) cells of most organisms are. Haploid means to contain half the number of chromosomes of a diploid cell. This is what gametes (sex cells - sperm/egg) are.
Starting with one diploid cell how many haploid sperm cells have formed after both phases of meosis has been complete?
four haploid sperm cells are formed after both phases of meiosis.Haploids? We're talking about haploids? Haploids. Not diploids, we're talking about haploids. Not diploids, not the biology I love, we're talking about haploids! (Just kidding. Merry Christmas!)
What is a normal cell with a double set of chromosomes?
it depends on what the cell started out asif its normal number is monoploid, meaning that it has a full set of chromosomes, but only one of each then a double set would be diploid.eukaryotes typically are diploid, but our sex cells are haploidprokaryotes typically have have monoploid numbers.so we have 23 PAIRS of chromosomes but 46 total and just 23 in our sex cells.so we will start with an exampleif you cell originally had 5 chromosome it is monoploid double that .. diploid with 10 chromosomes 2 of each ,,,,double diploid would be tetraploid with 20 chromosomes 4 of each.HOWEVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!if you are talking about a cell which has an extra copy of a SINGLE chromosome then it is a different storyif the cell is eukaryotic and it has a diploid number then it would be called a trisomicex if a human had an extra chromosome he would have 47 chromosomes and would be a trisomic
Are zygotes haploid or diploid?
Human genes have a possibility of 0.Five, or 50% of being male or woman. Genes are just certainly designed this way.

No. Stem cells are diploid just like any other body cell.
What is a gene mutation what is a chromosomal mutation?
a gene is passed on from generations and a chromosome is just found in certain cells
What are the two types of cells called?
There are many types of classifications, but the answer to your question is probably eukaryotes and prokaryotes. (However, it could be diploid and haploid or even just red blood cells and white blood cells).
