What is the 2n chromosome number for your skin cells?
Oh, dude, the 2n chromosome number for skin cells is 46. Like, that's the normal number of chromosomes in a human cell, so your skin cells are just chilling with their 46 chromosomes, doing their thing. It's like the perfect number for a skin cell to be, you know?
Which types of human cells undergo meiosis?
This form of cellular division results in the production of gametes, or sex cells, that have just one copy of each chromosome (the haploid number) as opposed to two copies of each chromosome (the diploid number). Human gametes are more commonly known as sperm cells and egg cells.
Are the gamete cell of your body haploid or diploid?
Human muscle cells are diploid.All human cells are diploid except for gametes (sperms and ova) and the cells that divide to form them (secondary spermatocytes and secondary oocytes).
How many diploid in humans?
The diploid human cells have 46 chromosomes in each cell. Out of these 46, twenty two pairs (44 in total) are autosomes and one pair (two chromosomes) are sex chromosomes. In female both sex chromosomes are identical and called xx type, whereas in male one sex chromosome is very small in comparison to the other, being termed as y. Thus male human being has xy type of sex chromosomes. Thus on the basis of sex chromosomes one can determine each human body cell from male or female individual.
Do embryonic stem cells contain half the number of chromosomes found in a zygote?
No. Stem cells are diploid just like any other body cell.

Why do diploid cells undergo meiosis?
Meiosis is needed to produce healthy offspring with a diploid chromosome set. Therefore, the diploid set from the mother as well as that one of the father needs to be reduced in half. So these reduced cells with haploid chromosome sets can merge and produce one diploid set. Without that reduction, two diploid sets would merge and the offspring would have a tetraploid set (=4 different allels for one gene). Maybe that's not that fatal. But just think furhter. If two of such children would reproduce, the outcome would be offspring with a octaploid set (= 8 copies for the same gene)!

How can you compare and contrast the terms haploid and diploid?
Diploid means to contain two sets of chromosomes. This is what the somatic (non-sex) cells of most organisms are. Haploid means to contain half the number of chromosomes of a diploid cell. This is what gametes (sex cells - sperm/egg) are.

Starting with one diploid cell how many haploid sperm cells have formed after both phases of meosis has been complete?
four haploid sperm cells are formed after both phases of meiosis.Haploids? We're talking about haploids? Haploids. Not diploids, we're talking about haploids. Not diploids, not the biology I love, we're talking about haploids! (Just kidding. Merry Christmas!)
What is a normal cell with a double set of chromosomes?
it depends on what the cell started out asif its normal number is monoploid, meaning that it has a full set of chromosomes, but only one of each then a double set would be diploid.eukaryotes typically are diploid, but our sex cells are haploidprokaryotes typically have have monoploid numbers.so we have 23 PAIRS of chromosomes but 46 total and just 23 in our sex cells.so we will start with an exampleif you cell originally had 5 chromosome it is monoploid double that .. diploid with 10 chromosomes 2 of each ,,,,double diploid would be tetraploid with 20 chromosomes 4 of each.HOWEVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!if you are talking about a cell which has an extra copy of a SINGLE chromosome then it is a different storyif the cell is eukaryotic and it has a diploid number then it would be called a trisomicex if a human had an extra chromosome he would have 47 chromosomes and would be a trisomic
Gametes are haploid while somatic cells are diploid what is the difference between a haploid cell and a diploid cell?
Haploid cell is just a term meaning a cell has only one set of chromosomes. Diploid is a term used for an organism or cell having double the basic haploid number of chromosomes.
What would happen is reproductive cells were diploid?
They would produce tetraploid offspring. Reproductive cells are also called sex cells (gametes). Gametes form a fertilized egg (zygote) when they combine their chromosomes in a single nucleus. So two diploid (2n) gametes would form a tetraploid (4n) zygote. (n is a symbol for the number of chromosomes in a single set.)Scientists believe that many plants have doubled their chromosome number at some point in the past, becoming tetraploid (in some cases more than once); coffee and wheat are just two examples. This sort of thing is rare in animals.
Do embryonic stem cells contain half the number of chromosomes found in a zygote?
No. Stem cells are diploid just like any other body cell.
How are the cells in the beginning of meiosis different from the cells at the end of meiosis?
At the beginning of meiosis, cells are diploid (2n), meaning they have the full complement of chromosomes. At the end of meiosis, cells are haploid (n), which means they have half the number of chromosomes. This reduction in chromosome number is due to the separation of homologous chromosomes during meiosis I and sister chromatids during meiosis II.
