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.
A diploid cell contains two sets of chromosomes, one from each parent, while a haploid cell contains only one set of chromosomes. In humans, a diploid cell has 46 chromosomes (23 pairs), whereas a haploid cell has 23 chromosomes.
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.
onion cells have 16 chromosomes. Which is 8 pairs
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.
They are cells that have half the chromosome number of the parent.
A haploid germ cell has the same number of chromosome sets as a gamete, which is half the number of chromosome sets found in a somatic cell. This enables the gametes to fuse during fertilization to restore the diploid number of chromosomes in the zygote.
A cell with 12 chromosomes would be haploid. In humans, a haploid cell would have 23 chromosomes.
A haploid female sex cell is an egg cell, also known as an ovum. It contains half the number of chromosomes found in a normal body cell and is produced through the process of meiosis in the ovaries. Upon fertilization by a sperm cell, the egg cell's haploid chromosome number combines with the sperm cell's haploid chromosome number to form a diploid zygote.
In organisms that reproduce sexually, their sex cells, or gametes, are haploid. This means they only have one copy of each gene. So gametes are cells that only contain one chromosome for each pair.
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.
haploid
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.
