What are diploid cells?
Diploid cells are cells which contain 2 sets of chromosomes, which will later be divided into two sets of 23 chromosomes for each daughter cell. The total will come up to be 46 chromosomes. The other type of cell is a haploid. A haploid is a sex cell which contains 23 chromosomes. Later when the sperm enters the egg, or the egg meets the sperm the two sets of DNA (One from the sperm, and the other from the egg) will pair up to make another cell with 46 chromosomes. Different animals have different amounts of chromosomes. I have bases this answer on human cells.
How many of the 46 chromosomes are gametes?
Gametes are a specific class of cell, which contains chromosomes. Gametes are not a type of chromosome. Most cells in the human body are "diploid," which means they contain two copies of the 23 chromosomes, for a total of 46 chromosomes. Of those, two are sex chromosomes: classified as X or Y. Gametes, however, are reproductive cells: egg cells in the female, and sperm cells in the male. Gametes are "haploid," which means they only contain one copy of of the 23 chromosomes, and only one sex chromosome (an X in an egg cell, or an X or Y in a sperm cell).
How many chromosomes in a leaf cell?
A leaf cell in most plants typically contains the same number of chromosomes as other somatic cells, which is usually a diploid number. This means that a leaf cell usually contains two sets of chromosomes, with the specific number varying among different plant species.
Can haploid cells undergo mitosis?
No, haploid cells cannot undergo mitosis. Mitosis is a type of cell division that occurs in diploid cells, which have two sets of chromosomes. Haploid cells only have one set of chromosomes and undergo a different type of cell division called meiosis.
What type of cells are halpoid?
Haploid cells contain half the number of chromosomes as regular cells do. For example, a normal, or diploid, human cell contains 46 chromosomes, but a haploid cell will only contain 23. Most of the cells in your body are diploid cells, and only sex cells, egg or sperm, are haploid. The reason they are haploid is because when they join together to make an embryo, their DNA combines.
What type of cell has two sets chromosomes?
A diploid cell has two complete sets of chromosomes, one set inherited from each parent. This type of cell contains two copies of each chromosome, one from the mother and one from the father. Diploid cells make up the majority of cells in the human body.
When a cell contains 1 set of chromosomes what is it called?
Gametes are reproductive cells produced by a type of cell division called meiosis. They contain only one set of chromosomes and are said to be haploid.

Number of DNA molecules in a chromosomes?
Each chromosome contains a single DNA molecule that is highly compacted and coiled around proteins. This single DNA molecule contains all the genetic information for an organism.
Why is meiosis only for sex cells?
Only diploid cells can undergo meiosis because haploid cells have a single set of chromosomes that can't be furthered reduced. Gametes form through meiosis.
What are diploid cells?

What type of cell are chromosomes found?
Chromosomes are found in all cells. They are found inside the nucleus of the cell.
Which type of cells contain a haploid number of chromosomes?
gametes (sperm or ova) are haploid cells
What cell type is a diploid?
Diploid cells have two sets of chromosomes, and are body (somatic) cells.
When two cells with n number of chromosomes fuse what type of cell result?
A diploid cell. In other words, a cell containing 2n chromosomes.
