I cell with 46 chromosome represented as 2n. When this cell divides (sex cell, gamete) it becomes a haploid with 23 chromosomes represented as n.
Diploid, it is somatic cell therefore will contain 46 chromosomes (23pairs) in humans
Forty six chromosomes
no humans are haploid because when two haploid cells combine a diploid cell is made.
An organism's diploid number refers to the total number of chromosomes in a diploid cell, which is a cell containing two sets of chromosomes. In humans, the diploid number is 46, with 23 pairs of chromosomes.
A cellwith two of each kind of chromosomeis called a diploid cell and is said to contain a diploid, or 2n, number of chromosomes.
1 diploid cell-->2 diploid cells-->4 haploid cells.
A diploid cell contains two sets of chromosomes, one set inherited from each parent. This means that in humans, for example, a diploid cell typically contains 46 total chromosomes, with 23 chromosomes inherited from each parent.
The liver cell is a diploid
The female egg is haploid, meaning it contains half the number of chromosomes (23 in humans) as compared to diploid cells. When the egg is fertilized by a sperm cell, the resulting zygote becomes diploid with the full set of chromosomes (46 in humans).
A cell such as a somatic cell that contains two sets of chromosomes is said to be a diploid.
The liver cell is a diploid
A cell containing two of each possible pair of chromosomes is called a diploid cell. In humans, diploid cells have a total of 46 chromosomes, with 23 pairs of chromosomes – one set inherited from each parent. These cells are found in the majority of the body's tissues.
