Diploid vs. Haploid Cells
Diploid Cell (2N) = a cell with a complete set of chromosomes found in a somatic (body)
cell. Somatic cells are all body cells except sperm and egg and all somatic cells are diploid.
The diploid number of chromosomes must be an even number because chromosomes are
found in Homologous Pairs.
Humans have a diploid number of 46. 2N=46
Diploid # link
Haploid (N)= a cell with 1 chromosome from each homologous pair found in gamete cells.
Gamete or sex cells are egg, sperm, pollen. The haploid number of chromosomes is 1/2 the
diploid number.
Humans have a diploid number of 23. N=23
