2. Answer- 74 chromosomes in their somatic cells. 37 chromosomes in their gametes.

EXPLANATION

• The term haploid refers to a single set of chromosomes present in the nucleus of its cells.
• Somatic cells are the body cells of an organism that has a double set of nucleus growth that occurs through the process of mitosis.
• Therefore, The number of chromosomes is equal to every bodily cell of the organism.
• Gametes are formed by the cell division called meiosis where there is a division of the genetic material twice resulting in the production of the cell which contains only one set of chromosomes.
• Therefore, the number becomes half.
• During fertilization, the haploid cells produce a zygote with diploidy.
