Question

What is the difference between a haploid cell and a diploid cell? Give an example of a cell that is diploid and one that is haploid?

Answer 1

A haploid cell has only one set of chromosomes. A diploid cell has two sets of chromosomes. In human, the somatic cells are diploid, and the gametes are haploid.

Answer 2

A diploid cell is one that has two copies of its genetic information. Each copy is from a different parent. For example,All of the cells in your body (except sperm or egg cells) are diploid.

A haploid cell is one that has a single copy of its genetic information. For example, sperm and egg cells are haploid.

Answer 3

a haploid cell is one in the somatic cell which are the normal body cells in all the organs. the diploid cells are the s*x cells found in the gametes. as the person above me said, they have only one set of chromosomes. the haploids have 2 sets.

haploid ex.: skin cell

diploid ex.: sperm cell
