AP BIOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -The cell now undergoes a process called cytokinesis that divides the cytoplasm of the original cell into two daughter cells. Each daughter cell is haploid and has only one set of chromosomes, or half the total number of chromosomes of the original cell.

Detailed explanation-2: -The term haploid can also refer to the number of chromosomes in egg or sperm cells, which are also called gametes. In humans, gametes are haploid cells that contain 23 chromosomes, each of which a one of a chromosome pair that exists in diplod cells.

Detailed explanation-3: -Mitosis results in 2 identical daughter cells, meiosis results in 4 daughter cells. Gametes are haploid cells.” What does this sentence mean? Gametes are haploid cells. This means they contain only half the number of chromosomes found in other cells of the organism.

Detailed explanation-4: -Each daughter cell is haploid, because it has half the number of chromosomes as the original parent cell.

Detailed explanation-5: -Diploid cells reproduce via mitosis creating daughter cells identical to the parent cells and each other. Haploid, on the other hand, reproduce via meiosis producing offsprings or cells different from other parent but containing a little bit of each parent and each cell different from the other.
