Using table 8-1 list the haploid and diploid number of chromosomes for each organism?

Sure, here are the haploid and diploid numbers of chromosomes for each organism listed in table 8-1: Human: Haploid - 23, Diploid - 46 Dog: Haploid - 39, Diploid - 78 Fruit fly: Haploid - 4, Diploid - 8 Maize: Haploid - 10, Diploid - 20


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.


What is the difference between a haploid cell and a diploid cell-?

A haploid cell has one set of chromosomes (n) while a diploid cell has two sets of chromosomes (2n). Haploid cells are typically found in reproductive cells (sperm and egg), whereas diploid cells are found in most somatic cells in the body.


What is the end result of fertilization in terms of chromosomes numbers?

It depends on the organism in question. Take humans for example. A somatic (body) cell has 46 chromosomes (23 pairs). This is called the diploid number of chromosomes. A human gamete has only one copy of each chromosome and so only has 23 chromosomes. During fertilisation, the two haploid gametes fuse and produce a diploid zygote, so the cell produced as a product of fertilisation has the diploid number of chromosomes (double the haploid number).


How many chromosomes do protists have?

Protists can have a wide range of chromosome numbers, which can vary from species to species. They may have a haploid number (n) or a diploid number (2n) or other variations, depending on the specific protist.

What is the haploid and diploid numbers for dogs?

The diploid number of chromosomes in all dogs is 78 (2x39). The haploid number would be 39.


If a diploid organism has a genome consisting of twenty two chromosomes its gametes will have how many chromosomes?

Gametes have half the number of chromosomes - therefore if the diploid number is 22, the gametes would have 11 chromosomes.

How many chromosomes are present in human haploid and diploid cells?

human diploid numbers are 46 chromosomes (the total amount of chromosomes) and the haploid number is 23 (half the number of chromosomes) in meiosis the desired number is the haploid number for gametes (sex cells) and it becomes the diploid number after fertilization and for mitosis its the diploid number because it wants to maintain its chromosomes since its not sexual reproduction

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"

Why is not not possible to have a diploid number below 2?

Because diploid is 2. This means that the lowest number that can be diploid is 2 as it is the first number that can be divided by 2. Diploid numbers cannot be odd or prime (other than the number 2) because they are not divisible by 2.

How many chromosomes do gazelles have?

Since Arabic verse doesn't have chromosomes I'm going to assume you mean 'Gazelles'. As for chromosome number, it depends on which species of gazelle you're talking about. The publication in the link below suggests diploid numbers ranging from 30 to 58.
