Source sentences:
text: Among sexually reproducing organisms, the number of chromosomes in the body (somatic) cells is diploid (2n; a pair of each chromosome), twice the haploid (1n) number found in the sex cells, or gametes.
text: These cells contain a complete set of chromosomes (46 in humans) and are called DIPLOID.
text: Virtually all sexually reproducing organisms are made up of somatic cells that are diploid or greater, but ploidy level may vary widely between different organisms, between different tissues within the same organism, and at different stages in an organism's life cycle.
text: By this definition, an organism whose gametic cells contain a single copy of each chromosome (one set of chromosomes) may be considered haploid while the somatic cells, containing two copies of each chromosome (two sets of chromosomes), are diploid.
text: Thus, they can have diploid or even triploid germline cells.
text: There are 23 chromosomes in a sex cell which is haploid as opposed to the 46 chromosomes in a somatic (body) cell which is diploid.
text: • Somatic cells (all cells except for eggs and sperm) are diploid; that is, they contain pairs of chromosomes, one member of each pair from each parent.
text: In most diploid organisms, every cell except for gametes will be diploid and contain both sets of chromosomes.
text: Therefore, cells with two sets are diploid, and those with one set are haploid.
text: Most mammals are diploid organisms, and their somatic cells will typically be diploid and their gamete cells will be haploid.
text: So human cells are diploid, and the cells of any other organism that has two sets
text: Most cells are diploid.
text: Somatic (body) cells are diploid.
text: Most somatic cells in the body are diploid.
text: Most cells in the body are diploid.
text: These two cells are still diploid at this point.
text: Cells and organisms with pairs of homologous chromosomes are called diploid.
text: Because our body cells contain two sets of chromosomes, the cells are called diploid.
