Is a mushroom diploid or haploid?
The thallus is haploid. It depends on the three basic life cycle of sexually reproducing fungi, in haplobiontic A life cycle, the thallus is haploid, in haplobiontic B life cycle the thallus is diploid and in diplobiontic life cycle, it has two thallus, a sporophytic thallus which is diploid and a gametophytic thallus which is haploid.
Do diploid cells have more chromosomes than the parent?
Parents are also diploid, only gametes are haploid (at least, if we are talking about animal species; some plants have alternating generations, which have both haploid and diploid adults).
What is alternation of generation?
It is a type of life cycle found in some algae, fungi, and all plants where an organism alternates between a haploid (n) gametophyte generation and a diploid (2n) sporophyte generation. A diploid plant (sporophyte) produces, by meiosis, a spore that gives rise to a multicellular, haploid pollen grain (gametophyte). It once was called hydrogen power. In more simple terms, it is a life cycle in which there is both a multicellular diploid form, and a multicellular haploid form.

Is genetics haploid or diploid?
They are haploid, meaning they only have one copy of each chromosome. germ cells are sperm and eggs. Each of which have half the amount of DNA of other cells in the body becasue they combine to make a single diploid cell with the full amount of DNA, 2 copies of each chromosome.

An organism has a haploid number of 20. What is the organism's diploid number?
16 (haploid number = n, and diploid number =2n) so if n=8, the diploid number is 2x8 = 16
WHAT ARE SOME EXAMPLES OF DILPOID CELLS?
Every somatic cells are diploid. Only sex cells are haploid
How an aoganism is haploid or diploid?
HAPLOID OR MONOPLOID The haploid number is the number of chrosome in a gamate of an individual. This is distinct from the monoploid number which is the number of unique chrosome in a single complete set. Most of the fungi and few algae are monoploid organisms, and male wasps and ants are haploid because of the way they develop from unfertilized haploid eggs. A monoploid cell is likely to be identical to the cell it was copied from however in haploid cells one of two differing copies of the same chrosomes is in the haploid set. DIPLOID Diploid cells have two homologus copies of each chrosome usually one from the mother and one from the father. The exact number of chrosome may be one or two different from the 2 numbers yet the cell may still classified as diploid. Nearlly all mammals are diploid organisms, although all individuals have some small fraction of cells that display polyploidy.

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.

What types of algae show a distinct alternation of generations?
Some types of algae that show a distinct alternation of generations are members of the green algae group, such as Ulva and Spirogyra. These algae have a haploid gametophyte generation and a diploid sporophyte generation. The gametophyte generation produces haploid gametes that fuse to form a diploid zygote, which develops into the sporophyte generation that produces haploid spores.
What are haploid cells?
it is sperm. NEW ANSWER Ploidy refers to how many complete sets of chromosomes a cell has. A diploid cell will have two sets of chromosomes, one set from each parent. A haploid cell is a cell with only one set of chromosomes. For example, humans are diploid organisms - our cells each have two copies of 23 different chromosomes for a total of 46. Humans do produce haploid sperm and egg cells (with only one set of chromosomes for a total of 23 chromosomes per cell) during meiosis for reproduction as these two haploid cells can then fuse to produce a diploid fertilized embryo. However, not all haploid cells are sex cells for multicellular organisms. All prokaryotes (i.e. bacteria) are considered haploid because they have a single circular chromosome. Many organisms - plants, funghi, yeast - go through haploid and diploid stages of their life cycles. Some insects are haploid.
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.
