How do you calculate diploid and haploid?
The "haploid number" is the number of chromosomes in a given organism's reproductive cell (i.e., either sperm or egg or similar, depending on the species) or it's the number of pairs of chromosomes in an organism. They are easier to count just before mitosis or during the interphase of meiosis. So put a cell under a microscope, make sure it is in the right phase of reproduction and count the little "X's".
A species that contains two copies of each chromosome is called?
A species that contains two copies of each chromosome is called diploid. Each pair of chromosomes, one from each parent, make up a diploid set in the organism.
Is the cell in prophase II an haploid cell?
Monkeys have both diploid and haploid cells. Organisms produce these 2 general cell types. There are several differences between diploid and haploid cells. Diploid means it contains 2 complete sets of chromosome (2n). Haploid means the cell contains 1 st of chromosomes (n). Diploid cells are the result of mitosis while haploid cells is the product of meiosis. Every species has a different number of chromosomes.
Which cells of an animal are diploid and which are haploid?
The cells that have all the homologous chromosomes that are characteristic of the species are referred to as diploid. Cells that have only one chromosome from each of the 23 chromosome pairs in body cells are referred to as haploid cells.
What is it meant by haploid and diploid number of chromosomes?
Haploid and diploid are terms which refer to the number of copies of a chromosome that are found in the genome of an organism. In humans, for example, there are two copies of each (of our 23) chromosomes. Thus, we are diploid. If there is only one copy of a chromosome, this is called haploid. Human sex cells as well as most plant sex cells (sperm/ pollen, ovum/ oval) are haploid. This is how you end up with a complement of chromosomes that is half your father's, half your mother's. Two haploid cells come together to form a diploid cell, and this cell eventually becomes a person. Diploid is a full set of chromosomes inherited from both parents. In humans this would be 46 chromosomes, or 23 pairs in, mostly, somatic cells. Haploid is half this number of chromosomes and is the result of meiosis, where as diploid is the result of normal cellular mitosis (as well as the result of fertilization). In genetic notation haploid is depicted with "n" and diploid "2n"

Diploid cells are the result of mitosis while haploid cells is the product of meiosis. Every species has a different number of chromosomes.
Do diploid cells have more chromosomes than the parent?
Parents are also diploid, only gametes are haploid (at least, if we are talking about animal species; some plants have alternating generations, which have both haploid and diploid adults).
What divisions are diploid and haploid cells?
Haploid and diploid cells are not part of biological "divisions". Haploid and diploid cells are part of the life cycle of a single species. "Divisions" separate whole groups of genera. Haploid cells contain a half measure of chromosomes while diploid contain a full measure for diploid organisms. There are polyploid organisms like wheat that is hexaploid (6 sets of chromosomes). Haploid cells come about from "division" of original diploid cells in a process called meiosis if that's what you mean by division.
Does fertilization reestablish the diploid state of a species?
Yes, fertilization combines the haploid gametes (sperm and egg) to form a diploid zygote. This process restores the diploid state and ensures that the resulting organism has the full set of chromosomes characteristic of its species.
If the diploid chromosome number of a species is 24 then a cell with 12 chromosomes would be?
A cell with 12 chromosomes would be haploid. In humans, a haploid cell would have 23 chromosomes.
Does the haploid number of a cell tell the number of chromosome pairs?
Yes, the haploid number of a cell (or, to put it another way, a species) is the same as the number of pairs of chromosomes in a diploid cell.For example, we humans have a haploid number of 23. This means that a diploid cell has 23 pairs of chromosomes.
Gametes are diploid so that when fertilization occurs the resulting zygote will have the normal number of chromosomes for the species?
Actually, gametes are haploid, not diploid. This means they contain half the number of chromosomes typical for the species. During fertilization, two haploid gametes (one from each parent) combine to form a diploid zygote, restoring the normal chromosome number for that species. This ensures genetic diversity and proper development.
How do you calculate diploid and haploid?
The "haploid number" is the number of chromosomes in a given organism's reproductive cell (i.e., either sperm or egg or similar, depending on the species) or it's the number of pairs of chromosomes in an organism.

Are stomatic cells haploid or diploid?
Somatic cells (of the body) are diploid (having 46 chromosomes). Only gametes (eggs and sperm) are haploid (having 23 chromosomes). So that during fertilization the egg and sperm combine their chromosomes resulting in a new life with 46 unique chromosomes (in humans, of course. Others species has differing numbers of chromosomes). The haploid combination ensures genetic diversity.
A species that contains two copies of each chromosome is called?
A species that contains two copies of each chromosome is called diploid. Each pair of chromosomes, one from each parent, make up a diploid set in the organism.
