Give difference between diploid and haploid ?? |
|
Answer» Thank you for answering my question . The main difference between haploid cells and diploid cells is diploid cells have two complete sets of chromosomes, while haploid cells only have one complete set of chromosomes. Haploid cells have half the amount of chromosomes that diploid cells have.Diploid cells use this process to replicate themselves into daughter cells. In meiosis, diploid cells divide to produce haploid germ cells. The resulting haploid cells merge with other haploid cells during fertilization. Somatic cells, such as blood, skin and muscle cells are some examples of a diploid cell. Haploid cells function as gametes, sperm and ova, in sexual reproduction.The sets of chromosomes of diploid and haploid cells are expressed in terms of haploid numbers and diploid numbers. A haploid number is the amount of chromosomes inside the nucleus of one chromosomal set. A diploid number concerns the nuclei of two chromosomal sets? DiploidHaploidAboutDiploid cells contain two complete sets (2n) of chromosomes.Haploid cells have half the number of chromosomes (n) as diploid - i.e. a haploid cell contains only one complete set of chromosomes.Cell Division and GrowthDiploid cells reproduce by mitosis making daughter cells that are exact replicas.Haploid cells are a result of the process of meiosis, a type of cell division in which diploid cells divide to give rise to haploid germ cells. A haploid cell will merge with another haploid cell at fertilization.ExamplesSkin, blood, muscle cells (also known as somatic cells)Cells used in sexual reproduction, sperm and ova (also known as Gametes). |
