The sets of chromosomes of diploid and haploid cells are expressed in terms of haploid numbers and diploid numbers. A haploid number is the amount of chromosomes inside the nucleus of one chromosomal set. A diploid number concerns the nuclei of two chromosomal sets. The haploid number is abbreviated as the letter n.
Ex: Human cells like skin, lung etc. are diploid that is they have two sets of chromosomes (23 from each parent) but Gemetic cells like egg and sperm are haploid. Haploid: Haploid are the cells which contain a single set of chromosomes in genome (chromosomes). Ex: Gemetic cells etc. Ploidy can be triploidy (3 sets), tetraploidy (4 sets), pentaploidy (5 sets) and hexaploidy (6 sets). Like comoom wheat species are hexaploid i.e. they have 5 sets of chromosome in their genomes.
