Key Stage 4
Meaning
A diploid cell contains only a full set of chromosomes.
About Haploid Cells
- Diploid cells are produced by mitosis or by fertilisation when two haploid cells fuse together.
- Chromosomes in a diploid cell are arranged in pairs.
- In a human a diploid cell contains 23 pairs chromosomes (46 chromosomes).
