What is the haploid number of chromosomes in humans?
A. Twenty-three
Answer (2)
23 pairs of chromosomes in diploid cells. Haploid cells are gametes in sexual reproduction, they have 23 chromosomes (half that of a diploid cell).
The haploid number of chromosomes in humans is 23, meaning gametes contain one set of chromosomes. In contrast, diploid cells, like somatic cells, have 46 chromosomes in 23 pairs. Therefore, the answer to the question is option A: Twenty-three.
