A diploid has the full set of 46 chromosomes as opposed to 23 in a haploid. The germ cells (egg or sperm) are haploid and comtain a single set of chromosomes -23 in humans. During fertilisation the fusion of two germ cells each with only there haploid number of chromosomes (referred to as n) fuse, resultng in a diploid zygote with a full set of 46 chromosomes, half from the female and half from the male. Known as 2n. In animals all cells except the sex cells are diploid.

∙ 15y agoI'm assuming you mean "What is the diploid chromsome number". Basically you have haploid and diploid...so in humans 46 is the diploid number and 23 is the haploid.

What is the diffence from a dipliod and a hapliod cell?
Dipliod is a cell with one gene from the mom and one from the dad. A hapliod cell is either one gene from the mom or one from the dad.
In moss the green leafy stuff is haploid or dipliod?
haploid
Are gamate producing cell hapliod or dipliod?
Gamete producing cells are diploid and not haploid.This is because a haploid cell contain only one set of chromosomes whilst a diploid cell contain two sets of chromosomes.Cells produce gametes during meiosis.Cells which undergo meiosis mostly begin with two sets of chromosomes which eventually results to one set of chromosomes in the resulting gametes formed after the meiotic cell division. This tells us that gamete producing cells themselves are diploid unlike the gametes which are haploids.
How does the chromosome number in a diploid cell differ from the chromosome number in a haploid cell?
The chromosome number in hapliod cell is 1 while the dipliod chromosome has 2
What discovery in the 1900 supported Mendel's ideas?
Chromosomes
Why meiosis carry only 23 chromosomes number?
Meiosis, unlike Mitosis, produces 4 haploid daughter cells, and a haploid cell contains half the number of cells as the cell that was originally divided.
After fertilization an egg is a hapliod or dipliod?
diploid
What is the diffence from a dipliod and a hapliod cell?
Dipliod is a cell with one gene from the mom and one from the dad. A hapliod cell is either one gene from the mom or one from the dad.
What is a dipliod number?
The diploid number is the total number of chromosomes found in the autosomes, or non-gamete cells of an organism. The diploid number includes both chromosomes of each homologous pair. Gametes, on the other hand, carry only one chromosome from each homologous pair; they are haploid rather than diploid. Gametes therefore carry half the number of chromosomes that autosomes do.
Does anaphase 2 create a dipliod or a haploid cell?
Haploid
In moss the green leafy stuff is haploid or dipliod?
haploid
What does dipliod mean?
The word diploid means having 2 of something. In the case of cells containing DNA in the form of chromosomes, it would mean a set of 2 chromosomes instead of one. The only place that you would find only one set would be in the gametes (sperm or egg).

What two things must happen to the sperm before it can fertilize an egg?
Well first the sperm has to be made by meiosis. Then it has to get to the egg and enter it [If you catch my drift.] Then after that the nucleus of both the sperm and the egg disappear and the chromosomes of both join together and a new nucleus forms. This creates a new dipliod cell, or a new organism in other words.
What is the process in which four hapliod daughter cells from one dipliod cell?
Meiosis. This is how the sex cells (sperm and eggs) are formed.
Give three characteristics of the Plant Kingdom'?
eukarioticphotosyntheticmulticellularasexually reproducinglife history involves an alternation of a halpliod phase ( Gametophyte ) with a dipliod phase.
How does the chromosome number in a diploid cell differ from the chromosome number in a haploid cell?
The chromosome number in hapliod cell is 1 while the dipliod chromosome has 2
