Detailed explanation-2: -Sexually reproducing organisms are diploid (having two sets of chromosomes, one from each parent). In humans, only the egg and sperm cells are haploid.

Detailed explanation-3: -Explanation: In asexual reproduction, a part of an organism body becomes the same organism, but smaller. This is caused by mitosis, in which a cell divides into the same diploid cell, having the exact same characteristics and chromosomes just like the parent cell.

Detailed explanation-4: -Diploid is a term that refers to the presence of two complete sets of chromosomes in an organism’s cells, with each parent contributing a chromosome to each pair. Humans are diploid, and most of the body’s cells contain 23 chromosomes pairs.
