Explanation:

• Diploid (2n):
• Significa "doble".
• Una célula con dos conjuntos de cromosomas homólogos.
• Haploid (n):
• Significa "simple".
• Una célula con un solo conjunto de cromosomas y un solo conjunto de genes.
• Ejemplo: gametos (células sexuales), como espermatozoides y óvulos.
• Tabla:
• Meaning:
• Diploid Cells: Células con dos conjuntos de cromosomas homólogos.
• Haploid Cells: Células con un solo conjunto de cromosomas y genes.
• Symbol:
• Diploid Cells: 2n
• Haploid Cells: n
• Chromosome Source:
• Diploid Cells: Uno de cada progenitor (padre y madre).
• Haploid Cells: Solo uno (progenitor).
• Example:
• Diploid Cells: Células corporales humanas (2n = 46), células corporales de mosca de la fruta (2n = 8).
• Haploid Cells: Gametos (espermatozoides y óvulos).

Answer:

• Diploid (2n):
• Means "double".
• A cell with two sets of homologous chromosomes.
• Haploid (n):
• Means "single".
• A cell with a single set of chromosomes and a single set of genes.
• Example: gametes (sex cells), like sperm and eggs.
• Table:
• Meaning:
• Diploid Cells: Cells with two sets of homologous chromosomes.
• Haploid Cells: Cells with a single set of chromosomes and genes.
• Symbol:
• Diploid Cells: 2n
• Haploid Cells: n
• Chromosome Source:
• Diploid Cells: One from each parent (father and mother).
• Haploid Cells: Only one (parent).
• Example:
• Diploid Cells: Human body cells (2n = 46), fruit fly body cells (2n = 8).
• Haploid Cells: Gametes (sperm and eggs).
