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

∙ 9y agoDiploid cells have the full number of chromosomes and have two copies of each chromosome. For example, human diploid cells have 46 chromosomes. Haploid cells have half of the full number of chromosomes and have one copy of each chromosome. For example, human haploid cells have 23 chromosomes.

What are haploid versus diploid cells?
Haploid cells only contain half of the DNA needed for a living organism. All haploid cells are reproductive cells. They connect with their respective other half to form a zygote. Diploid cells are cells such as the ones found all over the body, such as skin or muscle cells.
What is a non-example for a haploid cell?
A diploid cell is one that has two copies of its genetic information. Each copy is from a different parent. For example,All of the cells in your body (muscle, bone, brain, eye, etc.) are diploid. A haploid cell is one that has a single copy of its genetic information. For example, sperm and egg cells are haploid.
Where does a diploid occur?
Every cell in the body, other than the sperm and egg cells, is diploid. This means that they all have the whole complement of two sets of 23 chromosomes, totalling 46. The gametes, sex cells, only have one set of 23 chromosomes. This is called haploid. This is so that when one haploid gamete from a female and another haploid gamete from a male fuse, a diploid cell will form and be able to mitotically replicate to produce an individual.
Where in the human body are haploid cells found?
Haploid cells are also known as reproductive cells. These cells only contain one-half of the required chromosomes for a new baby to be created (the other set of chromosomes are in diploid cells). Haploid can be found in testicles and ovaries in humans, but are also found in algae's and bacteria's.
When two cells with n number of chromosomes fuse what type of cell result?
A diploid cell. In other words, a cell containing 2n chromosomes.
What is the difference between a diploid and haploid cell?
Haploid cells are gametes, meaning they are reproductive cells. They have half the number of chromosomes as somatic cells. Diploid (somatic) cells are in every part of the body other than the gametes. The have twice the amount of chromosomes as in haploid cells. Haploid cells reproduce using meiosis, while diploid cells use mitosis.a haploid cell has half the amount of chromosomes of a diploid cell. human germ cells are haploids (the egg and sperm) they each contain 23 chromosomes.

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 mitosis begin with haploid cell or diploid cell?
yea mitosis do begins with a haploid as well as doploid cell also..nd if the parent cell is haploid so the two daughter cells that are identical to each other will be haploid and if the parent cell is diploid so the daughter cells will be diploid.
Is the cell in prophase II an haploid cell?
Monkeys have both diploid and haploid cells. Organisms produce these 2 general cell types. There are several differences between diploid and haploid cells. Diploid means it contains 2 complete sets of chromosome (2n). Haploid means the cell contains 1 st of chromosomes (n). Diploid cells are the result of mitosis while haploid cells is the product of meiosis. Every species has a different number of chromosomes.

The only haploid cells found in humans are?
Reproductive cells or sex cells of an organism contain haploid number of chromosomes. All other body cells (or somatic cells) contain diploid number of chromosomes

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.
When two cells with n number of chromosomes fuse what type of cell result?
A diploid cell. In other words, a cell containing 2n chromosomes.
