N refers to the number of sets of chromosomes in a cell. For haploid cells "n" stands for 1n which have one set of chromosomes. vs. diploid cells which are 2n having one set from mom's egg and one set from dad's sperm.

Haploid cells are symbolized by what?

Haploid cells are denoted n, and diploid cells are denoted 2n."n" refers to the set of chromosomes - therefore haploid cells have one set of chromosomes and diploid cells have two sets (pairs of chromosomes). Haploid cells have half the number of chromosomes as diploid cells.


How is the haploid chromosome number?

The haploid chromosome number is half the chromosome number of the body cells. For example, in humans, body cells have 46 chromosomes. In human haploid cells (sex cells), there are 23 chromosomes.


What types of cells have n chromosomes?

Haploid cells like sperm cells,ova,bacteria


Are human gametes haploid?

Yes, sperm and egg cells are n. They both have 23 chromosomes, which is the haploid count.


The ploidy of the end products of meiosis is?

The end process of meiosis is 4 haploid cells, or four n cells.


What is the ploidy of cells?

Human somatic cells are diploid, 2n. Human sex cells are haploid, n. Thus, the ploidy of human cells is 2, while n=23.


What is the product of meiosis I?

Two haploid cells


How does the number of chromosomes in a diploid compare to the number of chromosomes in a haploid?

The diploid number is "2n" and the haploid number is "n". Humans have 46 chromosomes, which are equal to the diploid number. half of these chromosomes are the haploid number, which is = 23.


What is the difference between a haploid cell and a diploid cell-?

Haploid cells are n i.e. they have have numbers of chromosome while diploid cells are 2n i.e. they have full number of chromosomes.


What are cells called with half the genetic information?

Haploid, 1N cells, reproductive cells. Not all haploid cells are reproductive cells


What is Haploid (n)?

A Haploid number is n or 1n.


What is the difference on diploid and haploid cells?

Diploid and haploid are terms used to describe how many chromosomes are in a cell. Haploid or "n" represents half and Diploid or "2n" represents 2 times the n amount. For examples, in human haploid is n=23 chromosomes while diploid is 2n or 2(23) or total of 46 chromosomes.
