MainDifference–Diploidvs Haploid Diploidandhaploidaretwotermswhichdescribethenumber ofchromosomesetspresentinthecellortheploidyofacell. Diploidcellsconsistoftwochromosomesetswhilehaploid cells consist of a single set of chromosomes. This discrepancyinthenumberofchromosomesetscanbetermed as the main difference between diploid and haploid. Usually, humansomaticcells consistoftwo chromosomesets;each is inheritedfromoneparent.Gametesarefoundtobehaploid.

WhatisDiploid Diploidsare cells whichconsist oftwo sets ofchromosomes. Almost allmammals havediploid genomes. Eachset belongstooneparent,eithertomotherorfather.Achromosomethatbelongstothematernalsetishomologouswith onlyonechromosomeofthepaternalset.Thehumanbodyconsistsof46chromosomesalltogether:22homologous autosome pairs and two sex chromosomes. The total number of chromosomes in a diploid cell is described as 2n. Hence, each and every gene in the genome has two alleles at a particular locus. These two alleles can be either homozygousdominant,heterozygousorhomozygousrecessivewitheachother.

Diploid cells increase their cell number with the aid of mitosis. During mitosis, doubled genetic material via DNA replication is segregated into two cells. Daughter cells also consist of diploid genomes. On the other hand, retroviruses, such as HIV, Human foamy virus and Human Tlymphotropic virus consist of diploid RNA genomes. HIV,containingtwoRNAmoleculesisshowninfigure1.

WhatisHaploid Haploids are cells which consist of a single chromosome set.Homologouspairscannotbeidentifiedinhaploidcells. Some organisms may have diploid somatic cells, but they alsoproducehaploidgametesduringthereproduction.Two gametes again fertilize to form a diploid zygote. In this situation, the organism is still considered as diploid. Therefore,organisms,whichhavehaploidsomaticcellsare only considered as haploid organisms. The human body contains 23 chromosomes in their gametes while the somatic cells contain 46 chromosomes as homologous pairs. Thus, human gametesare haploid and are described asn.

Haploid gametes are produced by meiosis of 2n somatic cells. A single chromosome from the homologous chromosomepairissegregatedintoeachgameteduringmeiosisI.Inplants,fungiandalgae,somestagesofthelife cycle are diploid, and some stages are haploid. This is referred to as the alterations of generations. In plants, the principalstageofthelifecycleisdiploidwhereastheprinciplestageofthelifecycleishaploidinfungi.Mostanimals arediploid.But,animalsdevelopedfromunfertilizedeggssuchasmalebeesandantsarehaploid.

Haploid:Greengrowth,parasites,malebeesandants.

Conclusion Most creature on the planet are diploid. They produce haploid gametes during their sexual reproduction through meiosis. In plants, the principle stage of the life cycle is diploid. Diploid cells are composed of two factors to determineaspecifictrait.Thekeydifferencebetweendiploidandhaploidisthenumberofchromosomesetsthatthe cellconsistsof.
