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.
An unfertilized egg would be 1N...so the organism that has a 2N number of 52 would have a 1N number of 26.
diploid foolall are diploid except sperms and eggs
Body cells, like liver cells, are diploid. This means they have pairs of chromosomes. In this example the diploid number of chromosomes is 24. In sperm cells (or egg cells) the number of chromosomes is halved. This is described as the haploidnumber. In this example the haploid number would be 24/2 = 12. So the number of chromosomes in the sperm cells would be 12.
A mouse's liver cells have the same number of chromosomes as other body cells, which is typically 40 chromosomes.

If a regular diploid body cell, (liver, skin etc..) have 60 chromosomes then the gamete (reproductive cell ie sperm/egg) have half that numberof chromosomes- So the Bull's liver cell contains 60 chromosomes.

Woolly mammoths, like modern elephants, are believed to have had 56 chromosomes in total. Therefore, in a liver cell, which would contain the full set of chromosomes, a woolly mammoth would also have 56 chromosomes. This is consistent with the diploid number typical for their species.
The egg cell would also have 20 chromosomes because during sexual reproduction, each parent contributes half of the chromosomes to the offspring. This ensures the offspring will have the correct number of chromosomes for the species, in this case, 20 chromosomes for the lizard.

Isn't a diploid any cell with a full set of chromosomes?
Any somatic cells in a diploid eukaryotic organism will have the diploid number (2n) of chromosomes. For humans that number is 46. To unpack that: humans are diploid organisms. That is, our cells contain two copies of every chromosome we have. One copy is inherited from our mothers, the other from our fathers. Because we have 23 pairs of chromosomes (n=23), the total number of chromosomes in a human cell is 46 (2n=46). For the most part it doesn't matter what kind of cell you're talking about in a human body - brain cell, fat cell, liver cell (more technically called hepatocytes) - they will all have the same 46 chromosomes in them. All cells in your body are genetically identical - they differ in which genes are turned on, not by which genes they possess. (N.B.: There are a few exceptions to this, notably red blood cells and germ line cells. Mature red blood cells have no nuclei and no chromosomes at all! And germ line cells - that is sperm, eggs, and their precursors - will have only 23 chromosomes. This permits a sperm cell with 23 chromsomes and an egg cell with 23 chromosomes to fuse to produce a proper human zygote with 46 chromosomes.)
