What does diploid and haploid's mean?

Diploid refers to cells that contain two complete sets of chromosomes, one inherited from each parent, typically represented as 2n. In contrast, haploid cells contain only one set of chromosomes, represented as n, and are found in gametes (sperm and egg cells) in sexually reproducing organisms. The transition from diploid to haploid occurs during meiosis, a type of cell division that reduces the chromosome number for reproduction.


What Is A Cell With One Kind Of Chromosome?

A cell with one kind of chromosome is referred to as a haploid cell. Haploid cells contain a single set of chromosomes, which is typically represented as "n." In humans, for example, haploid cells are found in gametes (sperm and egg cells), which each carry 23 chromosomes, thus allowing for genetic diversity during reproduction when two haploid cells fuse to form a diploid zygote.


The number of chromosomes in a gamete is represented by what symbol?

The number of chromosomes in a gamete is represented by "n". This symbol represents the haploid number of chromosomes in a cell, which is half the number of chromosomes found in a diploid cell.

What does N stand for with haploid cells?

N refers to the number of sets of chromosomes in a cell. For haploid cells "n" stands for 1n which have one set of chromosomes. vs. diploid cells which are 2n having one set from mom's egg and one set from dad's sperm.

In animals which stage is more dominant haploid or diploid?

In most animals, the diploid stage is more dominant than the haploid stage. This means that the majority of an animal's life cycle is spent in the diploid stage, where most body cells are diploid and capable of reproduction. The haploid stage, typically represented by gametes (sperm and egg cells), is usually a brief phase dedicated to sexual reproduction.
