3.32: Know that in Human Cells the Diploid Number of Chromosomes is 46 and the Haploid Number is 23

TYPES OF CELLS:

DIPLOID
HAPLOID













Diagram showing the production of two diploid daughter cells via Mitosis





Diagram showing the production of four haploid daughter cells via Meiosis

NUMBER OF CHROMOSOMES: 46


NUMBER OF CHROMOSOMES: 23


  • Somatic cells (body cells) produced via Mitosis containing 46 Chromosomes (23 pairs)


EXAMPLE: Skin cells, Red blood cells



  • Gametes produced via Meiosis containing 23 Chromosomes (half the number of Chromosomes in Somatic cell)

EXAMPLE: Sex cells
