What are haploid and diploid cells?
Somatic (body) cells are diploid. Sex cells (gametes) are haploid.
Are most of the cells in the human body called haploid or diploid?
All cells in the human body that are not gametes (sperm or egg cells) are diploid. Gametes are haploid.
How is the haploid chromosome number?
The haploid chromosome number is half the chromosome number of the body cells. For example, in humans, body cells have 46 chromosomes. In human haploid cells (sex cells), there are 23 chromosomes.
What is the function of a haploid cell?
Haploid reproductive cells are called gametes or sex cells if human gametes like human body cells were produced through mitosis each gametes would have 46 chromosomes.
How are diploid and haploid cells different from each other?
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 x 2 ---- 46 -- Diploid

What is the term for the haploid form of a plant?
Gametophyte
What are Sperm only human cells to have?
Sperm are the only human cells to have a flagellum. This is their "tail". They are also one of only two cells to have haploid number of chromosomes. The ova in females is also haploid.
The only haploid cells in an organism are .?
It has to be defined what organism. Anyway, in human, the only haploid cells are spermatozoons, oocytes, and some of their developmental stages.
What is the function of a haploid cell?

Is the egg in human egg cells haploid or diploid?
Officially, the egg cell is the ovum which is haploid. However, the precursor cells in the ovaries, which people commonly refer to as eggs, are diploid. During the process known as oogenesis, the diploid cells undergo meiosis and become haploid.
When are human cells diploid?
All human somatic (body) cells are diploid. Only the gametes, sperm and egg cells, are haploid.
Are human gametes haploid?
Yes, sperm and egg cells are n. They both have 23 chromosomes, which is the haploid count.
What is the ploidy of cells?
Human somatic cells are diploid, 2n. Human sex cells are haploid, n. Thus, the ploidy of human cells is 2, while n=23.
