Diploid cells contain twice the number of chromosomes as haploid cells. Sex cells (sperm and egg) are haploids. Therefore, if the diploid number is 16, sperm and egg cells must contain 8 each.
The diploid number of chromosomes for an organism with a haploid number of 8 would be 16. This means that in the body cells of this organism, there would be 16 chromosomes, with each chromosome having a pair (homologous chromosomes).
An organism's diploid number refers to the total number of chromosomes in a diploid cell, which is a cell containing two sets of chromosomes. In humans, the diploid number is 46, with 23 pairs of chromosomes.
Gametes have half the number of chromosomes - therefore if the diploid number is 22, the gametes would have 11 chromosomes.
16 (haploid number = n, and diploid number =2n) so if n=8, the diploid number is 2x8 = 16

If the diploid number in a liver cell is 52, this means the organism has 52 chromosomes in total, with 26 pairs. The egg cell, being a haploid cell, will contain half the diploid number. Therefore, the egg of this organism will have 26 chromosomes.
A gamete would be haploid, containing half the number of chromosomes compared to a diploid cell. Therefore, a gamete of this organism would be expected to contain 29 chromosomes.
The haploid number is half of the diploid. Therefore the haploid number in this case is 12.
The diploid number of chromosomes for an organism with a haploid number of 8 would be 16. This means that in the body cells of this organism, there would be 16 chromosomes, with each chromosome having a pair (homologous chromosomes).
The number of chromosomes in a somatic cell.
An organism's diploid number refers to the total number of chromosomes in a diploid cell, which is a cell containing two sets of chromosomes. In humans, the diploid number is 46, with 23 pairs of chromosomes.
Gametes have half the number of chromosomes - therefore if the diploid number is 22, the gametes would have 11 chromosomes.
When a zygote is diploid it obtains two sets of chromosomes. Gametes contain one set of chromosomes. Therefore, 6 chromosomes would amount to 3 sets of gametes.
