Question

Compare the chromosomes of a diploid cell to a collection of she’s in a closet. How are they similar? What would make the shoe collection comparable to the chromosomes of a haploid cell

Answer 1

Answer;

Shoes are in pairs as are chromosomes in a diploid cell.

A "haploid" shoe collection would have only one shoe of each kind.

Explanation;

• There are two types of eukaryote cells namely; haploid and diploid cells, the main difference being the number of chromosome sets found in the nucleus.
• Haploid cells are cells that contain only one complete set of chromosomes. Examples are the gametes, or sex cells. these cells are produced by meiosis type of cell division.
• Diploid cells are those that have two sets of chromosomes. Examples of diploid cells are the somatic or non-sex cells in humans.
