Haploid Cell and Diploid Cell ?

Haploid Cell

haploid cells only have one complete set of chromosomes.The cell having one set of chromosome (n number of chromosome).

Gametes or sex cells (Sperm and Ova) are the example.

They are formed as a result of meiosis.

They fertilize to form to form offsprings (which are diploid)

eg. Human Sperm cell/ Ova cell (23 number of chromosome: n)

•HAPLOID ORGANISMS- bacteria, fungi, lower plants

Diploid Cell

Diploid cells have two complete sets of chromosomes, The cell having two sets of chromosome (2n Chromosome)

Somatic cells have diploid set of chromosome.

Diploid cell reproduce by mitosis.

eg. Human Muscle cell or Say blood cell (46 number of chromosome: 2n (2 x 23 = 46))

DIPLOID ORGANISMS- humans, higher plants
