Detailed explanation-1: -The most obvious difference between Haploid and Diploid is the number of chromosome sets that are found in the nucleus. Haploid cells are those that have only a single set of chromosomes while diploid cells have two sets of chromosomes.
Detailed explanation-2: -Haploid refers to the presence of a single set of chromosomes in an organism’s cells. 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: -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: -What is a Haploid Cell? The word haploid (meaning ‘half’) describes a cell that contains a single set of chromosomes. Diploid cells contain two sets of chromosomes, which are arranged in homologous pairs. The body (AKA somatic) cells of most organisms are diploid, and only their gametes are haploid.
