A diploid cell is a cell that contains two copies of each chromosome: one from a maternal source and the other is paternal. This occurs in the process of mitosis or the cell division (also called reproduction) of body cells (any cell except the gametes). Diploid cells and the process of mitosis are responsible for growth, cell replacement, and cell/tissue repair.
A diploid cell contains two of each kind of chromosome. In humans, somatic cells are diploid, meaning they have two sets of 23 chromosomes, one set from each parent.

What is mitosis How many new cells are formed and how many chromosomes are in each newly formed cell?
Mitosis is a kind of cell division, where a parent cell splits into two identical daughter cells. Two cells are created during mitosis, but the original cell no longer exists so the total number will go up by one (or, if you're looking at multiple cells, the total number will double). The new cells have the same number of chromosomes as the original cell before it divided.
The number of chromosomes in a sex cell of an organism is what kind of chromosome?
A sex cell is haploid, having one set of chromosomes, which is half of the number of chromosomes as in a body cell.
What do you call a cell with one of each kind of chromosme?
This is sex sells (gametes, sperm and egg).They have haploid number of chromosomes and used for sexual reproduction
What Kind of cell contains ribosomes a cell wall a cell membrane and chloroplasts?
plant cell
What kind of cell is formed when chromosomes from a sperm call and an egg cell combine?
A diploid cell called a zygote is formed with a sperm and egg fuse.
What is a cell that has 2 of each kind of its chromosomes called?
A cell with 2 sets of chromosomes is known as a diploid cell.
What kind of chromosomes are in each daughter cell?
X and Y
A cell with one of each kind of chromosome is what?
A cell with one of each kind of chromosome is diploid, meaning it contains two sets of chromosomes. This is the normal chromosome number for most somatic cells in the human body.
Why is it necessary to have a haploid cell at the end of meiosis?
In most plants and animals, each cell has two copies of each chromosome. Cells having 2 of each kind of chromosome are called diploid. For instance, human cells have 46 chromosomes (23 different kinds of chromosomes, and 2 copies of each kind). They are diploid. Now think about what happens when a sperm fertilizes an egg. If a sperm has 46 chromosomes, and an egg has 46 chromosomes, then you might think that the fertilized egg would have 92 chromosomes since it is formed by putting together the sperm and the egg. But this doesn't happen. Why not?Sperm cells and egg cells are produced by a process of cell division called meiosis that cuts the number of chromosomes in half (each sperm cell has 23 chromosomes and each egg cell has 23 chromosomes). Then when the sperm and egg combine during fertilization, they produce a cell that has the normal number of chromosomes again. (23 + 23 = 46). Meiosis reduces the number of chromosomes by putting one of each kind instead of two of each kind in each sperm and in each egg. Cells that have only one copy of each kind of chromosome are called haploid. Sperm cells and egg cells are haploid. All other cells in the body have two of each kind of chromosome and are called diploid.
A cell with two of each kind of chromosome?
A cellwith two of each kind of chromosomeis called a diploid cell and is said to contain a diploid, or 2n, number of chromosomes.
What is mitosis How many new cells are formed and how many chromosomes are in each newly formed cell?
Mitosis is a kind of cell division, where a parent cell splits into two identical daughter cells. Two cells are created during mitosis, but the original cell no longer exists so the total number will go up by one (or, if you're looking at multiple cells, the total number will double). The new cells have the same number of chromosomes as the original cell before it divided.
What cell that has two kind of chromosomes are?
Diploit
The number of chromosomes in a sex cell of an organism is what kind of chromosome?
A sex cell is haploid, having one set of chromosomes, which is half of the number of chromosomes as in a body cell.
A cell that has two of every kind of chromosomes is?
diploid
A cell has how many chromosomes?
That depends on the specific kind of organism the cell comes from.
What kind of cells is formed when chromosomes form a sperm cell an egg cell combined?
a diploid
What is the Distribution of chromosomes into separate and equal nuclei is referred to as?
The distribution of chromosomes into separate and equal nuclei is referred to as "mitosis." During mitosis, the replicated chromosomes are divided and distributed equally to two daughter nuclei, ensuring that each new cell receives a complete set of chromosomes. This process is essential for cell division and maintaining genetic stability.
