the diploid number of chromosomes is the number of chromosomes that organism is haploid for times 2. It looks like this: 2n.
Humans have 23 chromosomes each. So the mother has 23 chromosomes (this # is the haploid # of chromosomes for humans), plus the father who also has 23 chromosomes, is the diploid number of chromosomes, 46.

How many chromosomes are there in a fruit fly sex cell?
Hamster sex cells have 22 chromosomes each.
Is a sex cell a diploid cell?
No, sex cells contain half the number of chromosomes that somatic (non-sex) cells contain. They are therefore haploidcells.
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 many chromosomes produce a cell?
In humans there are 23 pairs of chromosomes in a diploid cell (a normal body cell e.g. a skin cell) However there are just 23 single chromosomes in a haploid cell (a sex cell e.g. a sperm) this is because when fertilisation takes place the embryo has a total of 46 chromosomes, as it takes both haploid cells, making it genetically identical to both it's mother and father, and making it a diploid cell.
Do diploid cells have 23 chromosomes?
If you're talking about a human cell, then no. Diploid means you have two complete sets of chromosome. For a human, this would be 46. A human cell is haploid when it has only 23 chromosomes - this is the case for the sex cells: sperm and egg each have 23 chromosomes.The issue can be confused if you discuss chromosome pairs...in which case, 23 pairs of chromosomes in a human cell makes it a diploid cell.
What percent of chromosomes that are in a diploid body cell are put into a haploid sex cell?
Fifty percent chromosomes from a diploid cell are put into a haploid sex cell. This is achieved by meiosis.
How many chromosomes are there in a fruit fly sex cell?
Hamster sex cells have 22 chromosomes each.
What is the diploid chromosomes number for humans?
There are 46 chromosomes in a human diploid cell (22 paired autosomes, 2 sex chromosomes).
How many chromosomes are contained in a human male gamete cell?
In a gamete (sex) cell, there are 23 chromosomes. A gamete is a haploid, or n, whereas a somatic (normal) cell is a diploid, or 2n, and has 46 chromosomes.
How many chromosomes are present in human haploid and diploid cells?
human diploid numbers are 46 chromosomes (the total amount of chromosomes) and the haploid number is 23 (half the number of chromosomes) in meiosis the desired number is the haploid number for gametes (sex cells) and it becomes the diploid number after fertilization and for mitosis its the diploid number because it wants to maintain its chromosomes since its not sexual reproduction
Is a sex cell a diploid cell?
No, sex cells contain half the number of chromosomes that somatic (non-sex) cells contain. They are therefore haploidcells.
Are the chromosome single or double?
In a body cell, there are two sets of chromosomes, which is the diploid condition. In a sex cell, there is one set of chromosomes, which is the haploid condition.
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.
At the end of meiosis II each of the haploid sex cells has only half the number of chromosomes as the original diploid cell why is this important?
Because then, when the sex cells combine in reproduction, the egg's chromosomes and the sperm's chromosomes will combine to form the original amount of chromosomes in a diploid cell, so it can replicate with a new set of DNA.

At the end of meiosis 2 each of the haploid sex cells has only half the number of chromosmes as the original diploid cell why is this importand?
Because then, when the sex cells combine in reproduction, the egg's chromosomes and the sperm's chromosomes will combine to form the original amount of chromosomes in a diploid cell, so it can replicate with a new set of DNA.
How many sex cell chromosomes are in a goldfish?
They are containing 94 chromosomes In the sex-cell And that my answer to this I think
