 what is the difference between haploid and diploid cells?

A haploid cell can be defined as a cell which contains one complete set of chromosomes. The chromosomes do not occur in pairs in haploid cell and the haploid chromosomal number is depicted by ‘n’. For example: In humans the haploid number is 23.

A diploid cell is a cell which contains two complete sets of chromosomes. The chromosomes occur in pairs in diploid cell and the diploid chromosomal number is depicted by ‘2n’. For example: In humans the diploid number is 46.

  • the cell in which the chromosome no. is same as that of its parent cell is diploid cell.
  • the cell in which d chromosome no. is half of that of d parent cell is haploid cell.

the cell which has a chromosome number half of the normal number of chromosomes ie,23 it is called a haploid cell- it is denoted as 'n'

the cell which has a chromosome number equal to the normal number of chromosomes ie,46 it is called a diploid cell- it is denoted as '2n'

the cell which has  a cgromosomes number half of the normal number of cgromosomes i.e,23 it is called haploid cell

the  cell which has a chromosomes number equal to the normal of chromosomes i.e,46 it is called a diploid cell.
