==Key Stage 4==
===Meaning===
A [[diploid]] [[Cell (Biology)|cell]] contains only a full set of [[chromosome]]s.
===About Haploid Cells===
: [[Diploid]] [[Cell (Biology)|cells]] are produced by [[mitosis]] or by [[fertilisation]] when two [[haploid]] [[Cell (Biology)|cells]] fuse together.
: [[Chromosome]]s in a [[diploid]] [[Cell (Biology)|cell]] are arranged in pairs.
: In a [[human]] a [[diploid]] [[Cell (Biology)|cell]] contains 23 pairs [[chromosome]]s (46 [[chromosome]]s).
