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.

Detailed explanation-2: -A diploid cell contains 10 chromosomes (2n = 10).

Detailed explanation-3: -Humans have 46 chromosomes in each diploid cell. Among those, there are two sex-determining chromosomes, and 22 pairs of autosomal, or non-sex, chromosomes. The total number of chromosomes in diploid cells is described as 2n, which is twice the number of chromosomes in a haploid cell (n).

Detailed explanation-4: -A cell with 2N=8 refers to a diploid cell that contains 8 chromosomes, in which 4 chromosomes are coming from the father and 4 chromosomes are coming from the mother. Therefore, there are 4 pairs of homologous chromosomes in this cell.

Detailed explanation-5: -In sexually reproducing organisms, the number of chromosomes in the body (somatic) cells typically is diploid (2n; a pair of each chromosome), twice the haploid (1n) number found in the sex cells, or gametes. The haploid number is produced during meiosis.
