Question
Chapter 25, Problem 1CQ
To determine
The difference between diploid cells and haploid cells.
Expert Solution & Answer

Answer to Problem 1CQ
The basic difference between diploid and haploid cell is that diploid cells contain two sets of chromosomes whereas, haploid cells contain only a single set of chromosomes.
Explanation of Solution
The difference between diploid cells and haploid cells are as follows:
No. | Characteristics | Haploid cells | Diploid cells |
1. | Chromosomes | Haploid cells contain a single set of chromosomes. | Diploid cells contain two sets of chromosomes. |
2. | Cell division | Haploid cells are produced by meiosis. | Diploid cells are produced by mitosis. |
3. | Importance | Haploid cells are important in sexual reproduction. | Diploid cells are important for growth, genetic stability, and asexual reproduction. |
4. | Examples | Human sex cells are haploid. They contain half the number of chromosomes than the parent cell. | Human somatic cells are diploid. They contain the same number of chromosomes as the parent cell. |
Conclusion:
Therefore, haploid cell and diploid cell differ in the type of cell division followed and the number of chromosomes present. Haploid cell have half the number of total chromosomes whereas, diploid cells have same number of chromosomes.

The uniform 150-lb stone (rectangular block) is being turned over on its side by pulling the
vertical cable slowly upward until the stone begins to tip.
(Figure 1)
If it then falls freely (T = 0) from an essentially balanced at-rest position, determine the speed at which the corner A strikes the pad at B. The stone does not slip at its corner C as it falls. Suppose that height of the stone is
L = 1.2 ft.

Consider the circuit shown in the figure. The battery has emf ε = 69 volts and negligible internal resistance. The inductance is L = 0.4 H and the resistances are R 1 = 12 Ω and R 2 = 9.0 Ω. Initially the switch S is open and no currents flow. Then the switch is closed. After leaving the switch closed for a very long time, it is opened again. Just after it is opened, what is the current in R 1?

- A capacitor with a capacitance of C = 5.95×10−5 F is charged by connecting it to a 12.5 −V battery. The capacitor is then disconnected from the battery and connected across an inductor with an inductance of L = 1.55 H . At the time 2.35×10−2 s after the connection to the inductor is made, what is the current in the inductor? At that time, how much electrical energy is stored in the inductor?arrow_forwardCan someone help me with this question. Thanks.arrow_forwardCan someone help me with this question.
