State
A diploid cell holds two matched sets of chromosomes, one from each parent; a haploid cell holds a single set.
Show
A human somatic cell is diploid with 46 chromosomes, while a human sperm or egg is haploid with 23.
Watch for
A haploid cell is not merely a diploid cell missing chromosomes — it holds one complete set, not half of a damaged one.
