Humans have a total of 46 chromosomes in each body cell; 44 of these are autosomes. You get one set of 22 autosomes from your mom and another set of 22 from your dad. It is often easier to think about our autosomes in pairs because even though we have 44 autosomes, we actually only have 22 types.
What are Diploid Cells? Diploid cells are those that have two sets of chromosomes. In diploid organisms, the parents each donate one set of chromosomes that will make up the two sets in the offspring. Most mammals are diploid organisms, which means they have two homologous copies of each chromosome in the cells. In humans, there are 46 chromosomes. In most diploid organisms, every cell except for gametes will be diploid and contain both sets of chromosomes. Diploid cells reproduce using mitosis, which creates a completely identical copy of the cell. In humans, the somatic cells (or non-sex cells) are all diploid cells. These include the cells that make up the organs, muscles, bones, skin, hair, and any other part of the body other than the eggs or sperm cells. Whatâs the Difference? The main ...
