Question

What is the difference between diploid and haploid cells?
A.Diploid cells contain two chromosomes while haploid cells contain one.
B.Diploid cells are usually gametes.
C.Diploid cells have paired chromosomes while haploid cells have single chromosomes. D.There is no difference.

Answer 1

The main difference between haploid and diploid cells is the number of chromosome sets found in the nucleus. Ploidy is the area of biology that refers to the number of chromosomes in a cell. Therefore, cells with two sets are diploid, and those with one set are haploid.

Answer 2

*Hint: The main difference among these two cells is the amount of chromosome sets found in the nucleus.

The main difference between diploid and haploid cells would be:

C. Diploid cells have paired chromosomes while haploid cells have single chromosomes.
