question 2
what is the best evidence telling you whether this cell is diploid or haploid?
the cell is diploid because each chromosome consists of two chromatids.
the cell is haploid because the chromosomes are not found in pairs
the cell is diploid because it contains both homologs of each homologous pair.
the cell is haploid because it only contains the fathers dna
Diploid cells have two sets of chromosomes, one from each parent, meaning they contain both homologs of each homologous pair. Haploid cells have only one set of chromosomes. The presence of both homologs indicates diploidy. Having two chromatids per chromosome is not the key factor for determining ploidy. Chromosomes not in pairs and containing only one - parent's DNA are characteristics of haploid cells.
