Question

What is the difference between a haploid species and a diploid species?

Answer 1

Haploid species have only one set of complete chromosomes. Diploid species have two sets of complete chromosomes. Haploid cells are created by meiosis, where the diploid cell will divide in half. Two haploids merge by fertilization. Diploid cells reproduce by mitosis making daughter cells that are exact replicas.

Step-by-step explanation:

examples of haploid are cells (gamate) sperm and ovate

examples of diploid are skin cells, blood cells

Answer 2

Diploid refers to the number of whole chromosome sets present in every cell of an organism: diploid cells contain entire sets. Haploid organisms, only include one complete chromosome set.
