How do you calculate diploid and haploid?

Answer 1

The "haploid number" is the number of chromosomes in a given organism's reproductive cell (i.e., either sperm or egg or similar, depending on the species) or it's the number of pairs of chromosomes in an organism. They are easier to count just before mitosis or during the interphase of meiosis. So put a cell under a microscope, make sure it is in the right phase of reproduction and count the little "X's".

Answer 2

To find the haploid number you divide the diploid number in half, and you get the answer for the haploid number.

EX: Diploid number: 78

78 divide by 2 equals 39

Haploid number: 39

Answer 3

Each gamete has a haploid set of chromosomes. In the case of humans, the haploid set is 23 chromosomes.

The diploid set comprises 46 chromosomes (the amount that is present when two gametes, one sperm and one ovum, combine).

Answer 4

Haploid is always half the number of the diploid.
