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 is the symbol for diploid and haploid?
the symbol for the haploid cell is "n" while the diploid cell is "2n" DIpliod-- 2 HAPliod--1
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.
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.
Do fungi spend most of its life cycle as a dipliod of a hapliod organism?
Fungi are haploid meaning that there is only one copy of each chromosome. Basically, they have no extra copy of each gene. Humans are diploids because we have two copies of chromosomes in case of a defect. This might be the general case, but I know that yeast, a unicellular fungi, can exist as a diploid. This happens when two haploid cells "mate" and basically fuse together.
What does bioligist mean?
it mean that you are healthy
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.
Does anaphase 2 create a dipliod or a haploid cell?
Haploid
In moss the green leafy stuff is haploid or dipliod?
haploid
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
What is the main diffrience between mitosis and meioses?
in mitosis a cell divides in 2daughter cell have same num.of chromosome as parent but in meisos one dipliod (pair of chromosome) divides in 4haploid daughter cells (not in pair)
What is gamatogenesis?
GAMETOGENSIS IS PRODUCTION OF HAPLIOD CELLS BY DIPLIOD MULTICELLULER ORGANISMS BY THE OF MEIOSIS.IT DIVIDE INTO ALMOST TWO SIMILAR PROCESSES-OOGENESIS AND SPERMATOGENESIS.THE PRIMORDIAL GERM CELLS DIVIDE AND UNDERGO MEIOSIS TO FORM GAMETES

What is the full form of DNA and why is it called so?
the full form of DNA is dirhibonucleicacid, it is called so due to the pattern it forms, it comes into one person by inheriting their parents DNA samples, sorry its a bit difficult for me 2 make it complex but i think its good enough to work?
