The gamete or haploid cell of an organism contains half as many chromosomes as a diploid body cell. An organism that has 32 chromosomes would produce a gamete with 16 chromosomes.
The somatic (body) cells of that organism is the diploid number, 18. The number of chromosomes in the gametes ( sex cells) is half of the diploid number or 9.
If the diploid number in a liver cell is 52, this means the organism has 52 chromosomes in total, with 26 pairs. The egg cell, being a haploid cell, will contain half the diploid number. Therefore, the egg of this organism will have 26 chromosomes.
2n is diploid, as it represents the full set of chromosomes in an organism where n represents the haploid number of chromosomes.
Meiosis reduces number of chromosomes to one half . when two gametes fuse , it restores original diploid number of chromosomes .With out this diploid number of chromosomes could not be maintained .
An organism with one set of chromosomes is called haploid. Haploid organisms have half the usual number of chromosomes, meaning they have only one set of chromosomes instead of the usual two sets (diploid). Examples of haploid organisms include certain fungi, algae, and gametes (sperm and egg cells) in animals.
An organism's diploid number refers to the total number of chromosomes in a diploid cell, which is a cell containing two sets of chromosomes. In humans, the diploid number is 46, with 23 pairs of chromosomes.
16 (haploid number = n, and diploid number =2n) so if n=8, the diploid number is 2x8 = 16
The somatic (body) cells of that organism is the diploid number, 18. The number of chromosomes in the gametes ( sex cells) is half of the diploid number or 9.
The diploid number of chromosomes for an organism with a haploid number of 8 would be 16. This means that in the body cells of this organism, there would be 16 chromosomes, with each chromosome having a pair (homologous chromosomes).

The diploid number is the total number of chromosomes found in the autosomes, or non-gamete cells of an organism. The diploid number includes both chromosomes of each homologous pair. Gametes, on the other hand, carry only one chromosome from each homologous pair; they are haploid rather than diploid. Gametes therefore carry half the number of chromosomes that autosomes do.
2n is diploid, as it represents the full set of chromosomes in an organism where n represents the haploid number of chromosomes.
