     Science › Biology › Molecular Biology
    There are two types of cells in the body - haploid cells and diploid cells. The difference between haploid and diploid cells is related to the number of chromosomes that the cell contains.

    Diploid vs Haploid
    About:


    Diploid cells contain two complete sets (2n) of chromosomes.


    Haploid cells have half the number of chromosomes (n) as diploid - i.e. a haploid cell contains only one complete set of chromosomes.


    Cell Division and Growth: Diploid cells reproduce by mitosis making daughter cells that are exact replicas.


    Haploid


    Haploid cells are a result of the process of meiosis, a type of cell division in which diploid cells divide to give rise to haploid germ cells.


    A haploid cell will merge with another haploid cell at fertilization.


    Examples: Skin, blood, muscle cells (also known as somatic cells) Cells used in sexual reproduction, sperm and ova (also known as Gametes).
