Question

what cells in living organisms are diploid?

Answer:

Most mammals are diploid organisms, which means they have two homologous copies of each chromosome in the cells. In humans, there are 46 chromosomes. In most diploid organisms, every cell except for gametes will be diploid and contain both sets of chromosomes.

Hope this helps!

Somatic or body cells in living organisms are diploid (2n)).

DIPLOID:

  • Diploidy, represented by 2n, refers the two sets of chromosomes in the cell of an organism.

  • Diploid organisms are formed as a result of the coming together of two haploid cells i.e. n + n = 2n

  • However, not all cells of a sexually reproducing organisms are diploid in number. Only the somatic or body cells are diploid while the sex cells or gametes are haploid.

  • Sex cells e.g. sperm and egg are formed by the meiotic division of the somatic cells.

  • Therefore, Somatic or body cells in living organisms are diploid (2n)).
