what cells in living organisms are diploid?​

Sagot :

Answer:

Diploid - body cells

Haploid - sex cells

Diploid is a cell or organism that has paired chromosomes, one from each parent. In humans, cells other than human sex cells, are diploid and have 23 pairs of chromosomes. Human sex cells (egg and sperm cells) contain a single set of chromosomes and are known as haploid.

Diploid cells, or somatic cells, contain two complete copies of each chromosome within the cell nucleus. Examples of diploid cells include skin cells and muscle cells.
