Cell Division

Diploid means...

• having 1 copy of each chromosome

• having 2 copies of each chromosome

• having 1/2 of a copy of each chromosome

• the cell is ready to divide

Haploid means...

• having 1 copy of each chromosome

• having 2 copies of each chromosome

• having 1/2 a copy of each chromosome

• the cell is ready to divide
