Explanation:
1)This number is abbreviated as 2n where n stands for the number of chromosomes. For humans, the diploid chromosome number equation is 2n = 46 because humans have two sets of 23 chromosomes (22 sets of two autosomal or non-sex chromosomes and one set of two sex chromosomes).
2)Under normal conditions, the haploid number is exactly half the total number of chromosomes present in the organism's somatic cells. For diploid organisms, the monoploid number and haploid number are equal; in humans, both are equal to 23.
The diploid number is 2n no. of chromosomes and thus it is diploid instead of haploid.
Chromosomes are thread-like systems placed in the nucleus of animal and plant cells. Each chromosome is made from protein and a single molecule of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA).
Thus it is clear that the diploid and haploid number of the species depends on the number of chromosomes.
