The term diploid is defined, as the two sets of chromosomes present in a single cell. The diploid condition is notated as (
a.). The diploid cells are called as somatic cells. These cells are replicated by the mitosis process. Thus, they are not involved in the reproduction.The diploid cells of the human body includes: muscle cells, skin cells, and brain cells extra. All these cells have two copies of all chromosomes present in the cell.
Whereas, the haploid cells have a single set of chromosomes in a cell, the haploid condition is notated as
a.. The haploid cells are called as germ cells. These cells are synthesized by the meiosis process. Thus, the haploid cells are involved in the reproduction process.
The haploid cells of the human body includes: sperms in the males and egg cell in the females.
