The only haploid cells found in humans are?
Reproductive cells or sex cells of an organism contain haploid number of chromosomes. All other body cells (or somatic cells) contain diploid number of chromosomes
The purpose of meiosis is to?
Produce cells that contain the haploid number of chromosomes.
What produces with half the normal number of chromosome?
the answer is MEIOSIS meiosis produces 4 single cells with half member of the chromosomes mitosis produces 2 cells with full member of the chromosomes
How are diploid and haploid cells different from each other?
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
Is sperm haploid or diploid?
haploid - they contain a single set of unpaired chromosomes
Differentiate between diploid and haploid cells.-?
Diploid cells contain 2 complete sets of chromosomes, one from each parent. an example would be somatic cells. Haploid cells are cells that contain 1 set of unpaired chromosomes of half the number of chromosomes as a somatic cell.
What term is used to refer to a cell with only a half set of chromosomes?
Cells which contain half the number of chromosomes (compared to a normal cell) are known as haploid cells. An example of haploid cells is gametes or sex cells.
How does the number of chromosomes in a diploid compare to the number of chromosomes in a haploid?
The diploid number is "2n" and the haploid number is "n". Humans have 46 chromosomes, which are equal to the diploid number. half of these chromosomes are the haploid number, which is = 23.
Through the process of meiosis sex cells are produced that are?
Haploid cells, as opposed to diploid cells. Haploid cells contain only 23 chromosomes, but normal diploid cells contain 46 chromosomes.
What is the difference between a diploid cell and a haploid?
Diploid cells contain 2 sets of chromosomes, whereas haploid cells contain half of this (one set of chromosomes).
Cells that contain half the usual number of chromosomes are?
A sperm cell and an egg cell. They combine to make a baby with full chromosomes.
How is the haploid chromosome number?
The haploid chromosome number is half the chromosome number of the body cells. For example, in humans, body cells have 46 chromosomes. In human haploid cells (sex cells), there are 23 chromosomes.
