A haploid species is an organism that has a single set of chromosomes, represented as n. This means that each cell contains only one copy of each chromosome, which is typical of gametes (sperm and egg cells) in sexually reproducing organisms. In certain species, such as some fungi, algae, and plants, the entire organism can exist in a haploid state, undergoing processes like mitosis and reproduction without forming diploid stages. This contrasts with diploid species, which have two sets of chromosomes (2n).

If the diploid chromosome number of a species is 24 then a cell with 12 chromosomes would be?

A cell with 12 chromosomes would be haploid. In humans, a haploid cell would have 23 chromosomes.


How many chromosome pairs are in a species with a haploid number of 68?

68 pairs .


When a cell contains only one chromosome of each homologous pair the cell is?

ploidy is the classification based on the number of homologous chromosomes present. if there is only one pair of homologous chromosomes then the nucleus is said to be haploid if there are two pairs then it is known as diploid if three it is triploid if many it is noted as polyploidy --------------------------- an oocyte or a spermatocyte are haploid cells in a species that normally have diploid cells.


Does the haploid number of a cell tell the number of chromosome pairs?

Yes, the haploid number of a cell (or, to put it another way, a species) is the same as the number of pairs of chromosomes in a diploid cell.For example, we humans have a haploid number of 23. This means that a diploid cell has 23 pairs of chromosomes.


Do diploid cells have more chromosomes than the parent?

Parents are also diploid, only gametes are haploid (at least, if we are talking about animal species; some plants have alternating generations, which have both haploid and diploid adults).


How many chromosomes are in sex cells of a bird?

The number will be the haploid number for that species but the haploid number will vary species to species. According to the Ensembl Genome Browser (an excellent resource for questions like this) chickens have 31 chromosomes and zebra finches have 33. It is likely most birds will be in that ball park, but you really can't say for sure without looking in each case.


What species other than humans have a haploid number of 23 chromosomes?

Ploidy is another species that has 23 chromosomes. Many organisms have more than two sets of homologous chromosomes.
