  2. Cell division: mitosis and meiosis | Biological Principles

    After DNA replication, the cells is still genetically diploid (2N chromosome number), but has 4X DNA content because each chromosome has replicated its DNA. Each chromosome now consists of a …

  3. What Does Diploid and Haploid Mean? - Biology Insights

    Aug 15, 2025 · The distinction between diploid and haploid cells lies in their chromosome number and roles. Diploid cells, with their two sets of chromosomes (2n), form most of an organism’s body, …

  4. Diploid vs. Haploid: 12 Major Differences, Examples

    Aug 3, 2023 · In such cases, if the somatic cells are tetraploid, the gametes will have two sets of chromosomes and still be called haploid. The nucleus of diploid eukaryotes is only called haploid …
