Does the haploid number of a cell tell the number of chromosome pairs?

Yes, the haploid number of a cell (or, to put it another way, a species) is the same as the number of pairs of chromosomes in a diploid cell.
For example, we humans have a haploid number of 23. This means that a diploid cell has 23 pairs of chromosomes.

What is the diploid chromosome number in onion cell?
onion cells have 16 chromosomes. Which is 8 pairs
What cell would a hiploid be?
A haploid cell is a sex-chromosome without pair. A diploid cell is a sex-chromosome with pairs . People have 22 chromosome pairs and 2 chromosomes they do not have pairs. A man has XY chromosomes and a woman XX chromosomes.
How does the chromosome number in a diploid cell differ from the chromosome number in a haploid cell?
The chromosome number in hapliod cell is 1 while the dipliod chromosome has 2
What is a haploid number and what kind of cells are these?
Haploid number is one half of the number of chromosome pairs in a cell.Haploid cells are a result of the process of meiosis, a type of reductional cell division in which diploid cells divide to give rise to haploid germ cells or spores.
What type of cell are haploid?
They are cells that have half the chromosome number of the parent.
What Has the same number of chromosome sets as a germ cell?
Haploid
If the diploid chromosome number of a species is 24 then a cell with 12 chromosomes would be?
A haploid cell
How are haploid daughter cells different from the parent cell?
The parent cell will be diploid and contain paired chromosomes. The haploid cell will contain only one copy of each chromosome. In humans for example there are 23 pairs of chromosomes. In a somatic cell, which is diploid, the 23 pairs are present. In a gamete (sperm or egg cell), which is haploid there are only 23 chromosomes - unpaired. This is so that when the sperm and egg meet at fertilisation there are 46 chromosomes - 23 pairs - the correct number for the organism.
What is a cell with one chromosome?
haploid
When a cell contains only one chromosome of each homologous pair the cell is?
ploidy is the classification based on the number of homologous chromosomes present. if there is only one pair of homologous chromosomes then the nucleus is said to be haploid if there are two pairs then it is known as diploid if three it is triploid if many it is noted as polyploidy --------------------------- an oocyte or a spermatocyte are haploid cells in a species that normally have diploid cells.
How many genes do cells obtain?
The number of genes varies from chromosome to chromosome and the number of chromosomes varies from species to species (from as few as 1 single chromosome per cell to as many 30,000 chromosome pairs per cell). Human cells have 23 chromosome pairs per cell.
