the human body is made primarily of diploid cells
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
diploid n= 46 haploid n= 23
2n=46
The normal diploid number of chromosomes for humans is 46.
human diploid numbers are 46 chromosomes (the total amount of chromosomes) and the haploid number is 23 (half the number of chromosomes) in meiosis the desired number is the haploid number for gametes (sex cells) and it becomes the diploid number after fertilization and for mitosis its the diploid number because it wants to maintain its chromosomes since its not sexual reproduction
There are 46 chromosomes in human cells.
If the somatic (normal) cell has 38 chromosomes, then the diploid number will be 38. If the gametes (sperm and ovum/egg) have 38 chromosomes, then the diploid number will be 76.

Fertilization
Every human, besides defected ones, has a total of 46 chrosomes haploid(23) + haploid(23)=Diploid(46).
There are 46 chromosomes in a human diploid cell (22 paired autosomes, 2 sex chromosomes).
Diploid
the human body is made primarily of diploid cells
Exept sperms and ova all are diploid.
An ootid is a haploid cell, which means that it contains half the number of chromosomes as the original diploid cell. In a human, an ootid would have 23 chromosomes.
