Somatic (body) cells are diploid. Sex cells (gametes) are haploid.
All cells in the human body that are not gametes (sperm or egg cells) are diploid. Gametes are haploid.
In humans, all the somatic cells (body cells) are diploid. However, gametes (sex cells) such as sperm and egg cells are haploid. Gametes have half the amount of genetic material than which is found in somatic cells. These are the only human cells which are not diploid.
All cells except gametes have a nucleus that contains 46 chromosomes arranged into pairs.
The function of a haploid cell is to participate in sexual reproduction, where it combines with another haploid cell to form a diploid cell containing genetic material from both parents. In humans, haploid cells are sperm cells in males and egg cells in females.

All cells in the human body that are not gametes (sperm or egg cells) are diploid. Gametes are haploid.
All of your body cells (SOMATIC CELLS) except for your gametes under go mitosis.
In humans, all the somatic cells (body cells) are diploid. However, gametes (sex cells) such as sperm and egg cells are haploid. Gametes have half the amount of genetic material than which is found in somatic cells. These are the only human cells which are not diploid.
All cells except gametes have a nucleus that contains 46 chromosomes arranged into pairs.
There are 23 pairs of chromosomes in all about 100 trillion body cells minus 25 trillion red blood cells and gametes. Red blood cells have no nucleus and so no chromosomes and gametes have half of them.
No. Most can except some specialized ones such as brain cells, red blood cells and gametes.
The function of a haploid cell is to participate in sexual reproduction, where it combines with another haploid cell to form a diploid cell containing genetic material from both parents. In humans, haploid cells are sperm cells in males and egg cells in females.
It gives picture of the cell divisions occurring in the somatic cells(all cells except the gametes)
This is not entirely accurate. All cells in an organism carry the same number of chromosomes, except for gametes (sperm and egg cells) which are haploid and carry half the number of chromosomes as normal body cells (diploid).
This is a diploid number, and all cells except gametes/ sex cells which have a haploid or half this number. Red blood cells have no chromosomes at all.
All somatic cells undergo mitosis to divide and produce new cells. These include cells in tissues such as skin, muscle, and organs. On the other hand, germ cells undergo meiosis to produce gametes (eggs and sperm).
