hap. · loid set. the genetic content of a normal gamete in which every autosomal locus is represented by a single allele and either one full set of X-linked genes or one full set of Y-linked genes; the normal adult somatic cell contains two haploid sets.


Diploid. Diploid cells have two homologous copies of each chromosome, usually one from the mother and one from the father. ... Human diploid cells have 46 chromosomes (the somatic number, 2n) and human haploid gametes (egg and sperm) have 23 chromosomes (n).
