Haploid cells are also known as reproductive cells. These cells only contain one-half of the required chromosomes for a new baby to be created (the other set of chromosomes are in diploid cells). Haploid can be found in testicles and ovaries in humans, but are also found in algae's and bacteria's.

What are haploid and diploid cells?

Somatic (body) cells are diploid. Sex cells (gametes) are haploid.


How is the haploid chromosome number?

The haploid chromosome number is half the chromosome number of the body cells. For example, in humans, body cells have 46 chromosomes. In human haploid cells (sex cells), there are 23 chromosomes.

What are the two types of cells in your body and how do they relate to the terms of haploid and diploid?

gametes and somatic cells???? gametes are haploid, which is half(23) of the normal human total(46). Somatic cells, are all other body cells and contain 46, or 23 pairs/sets of chromosomes.....Gametes are only used for reproduction, and are thus found in a fertile's body reproduction system...

All cells except sex cells are diploid. And sex cells are haploid.


What is the difference between a diploid and haploid cell?

Haploid cells are gametes, meaning they are reproductive cells. They have half the number of chromosomes as somatic cells. Diploid (somatic) cells are in every part of the body other than the gametes. The have twice the amount of chromosomes as in haploid cells. Haploid cells reproduce using meiosis, while diploid cells use mitosis.a haploid cell has half the amount of chromosomes of a diploid cell. human germ cells are haploids (the egg and sperm) they each contain 23 chromosomes.

In what type of human cell is the chromosome number 23?

The chromosome number 23 is found in human sex cells, such as eggs (in females) and sperm (in males). These cells are known as haploid cells, containing half the normal number of chromosomes found in somatic cells.
