Ploidys
The diploid number of chromosomes, often represented as 2N, refers to the total number of chromosomes in a cell that has two sets of chromosomes, one inherited from each parent. In humans, for example, the diploid number is 46, meaning there are 23 pairs of chromosomes. This contrasts with the haploid number, which is N and represents a single set of chromosomes, such as in gametes (sperm and egg cells) that contain 23 chromosomes.
If an organism has 5 chromosomes in a haploid sex cell (n), then it would have 10 chromosomes in its diploid body cell (2n). This is because diploid cells contain two sets of chromosomes, one from each parent. Therefore, 2n equals 2 times n, which in this case is 2 times 5, resulting in 10 chromosomes.
N refers to the number of sets of chromosomes in a cell. For haploid cells "n" stands for 1n which have one set of chromosomes. vs. diploid cells which are 2n having one set from mom's egg and one set from dad's sperm.
A diploid cell. In other words, a cell containing 2n chromosomes.

The number of chromosomes in a gamete is represented by "n". This symbol represents the haploid number of chromosomes in a cell, which is half the number of chromosomes found in a diploid cell.
The number of chromosomes in a cell is represented by the letter "n". A cell can be haploid (n or 1n), diploid (2n), triploid (3n), etc. A gamete is haploid and would be represented by n, or half of a diploid (2n). Some notations will say the chromosome number (in humans for example), n equals 23 or n=23. Likewise, a diploid cell would be denoted by 2n=46.
A gamete is N (39 chromosomes in the cell) while a body cell is 2N (78 chromosomes; full set).
For humans, it is 23. That is half of the original chromosomal count.

I assume you mean human sperm cells.Haploid and n = 23 chromosomes, so......23 * 50= 1150 chromosomes===============
I assume you mean human egg and sperm cells. There is a haploid number of chromosomes in these cells. 23 chromosomes. n.
A single complete set of chromosomes is called a haploid set of chromosomes. It is generally represented by the letter N. In humans for example, there are a total of 46 chromosomes per somatic cell. Since there are two copies of each chromosome. the 2N number for human is 46 and N = 23.
A diploid cell. In other words, a cell containing 2n chromosomes.
n. Haploid.
