diploid is double the number of chromosomes
The chromosomes are double (diploid) at the beginning of meiosis. By the end of meiosis I, the chromosomes are single (haploid).
Diploid cells
The diploid number of an organism is double its haploid number, therefore the diploid number of a cell with a haploid number of 5 would be 10.
ova is haploid
diploid is double the number of chromosomes
The term is diploid.
A cellwith two of each kind of chromosomeis called a diploid cell and is said to contain a diploid, or 2n, number of chromosomes.
Double fertilization
27. To get the haploid number from the diploid number you halve it. To get the diploid number from the haploid number you double it.
The chromosomes are double (diploid) at the beginning of meiosis. By the end of meiosis I, the chromosomes are single (haploid).
Diploid cells
Yes, the chromosomes double/make a copy of themselves.
The diploid number of an organism is double its haploid number, therefore the diploid number of a cell with a haploid number of 5 would be 10.
Cells which contain two of each chromosome (two sets of chromosomes) are said to be diploid. In most organisms, the body cells are diploid.
