Detailed explanation-1: -The diploid chromosome number is 10. So, the haploid chromosome number will be= 10/2= 5. The number of possible chromosome pairs is given by= 2n, where n is the haploid chromosome number. So, the number of chromosome pairs for having a diploid chromosome number of 10 will be= 25.

Detailed explanation-2: -Answer and Explanation: If an organism has a diploid number of 10 it has 10 chromosomes-5 homologous pairs. It will therefore 20 chromatids, all of which will be present in prophase.

Detailed explanation-3: -During meiosis, a diploid germ cell divides to give rise to four haploid cells in two rounds of cell division.

Detailed explanation-4: -So when a sperm and egg cell combine during fertilization, the resulting zygote will have 46 chromosomes. So to convert between haploid and diploid cells, we simply need to double the number of chromosomes.

Detailed explanation-5: -Haploid cells contain only one set of Chromosomes (n). Diploid, as the name indicates, contains two sets of chromosomes (2n). Haploid cells are formed by the process of meiosis. Diploid cells undergo mitosis. In the higher organism, such as humans, haploid cells are only used for sex cells.
