Question
- what is the difference between a haploid cell and a diploid cell? a haploid cell undergoes one round of cell division while a diploid cell undergoes two rounds of cell division. a haploid cell is involved in asexual reproduction while a diploid cell is involved in sexual reproduction. a haploid cell contains one copy of each chromosome, and a diploid cell contains two copies of each chromosome. a haploid cell is produced during mitosis, and a diploid cell is produced during meiosis. clear all
Brief Explanations
Haploid cells have one set of chromosomes (n), while diploid cells have two sets (2n). Cell division rounds (mitosis/meiosis) don't define haploid/diploid. Both can be in sexual reproduction (e.g., haploid gametes). Mitosis produces diploid (somatic) cells; meiosis produces haploid (gametes).
