<u><em>Human somatic cells or body cells are diploid such that they contain two sets of 23 chromosomes which gives a total of 23 chromosomes.</em></u>
Examples <em><u>of somatic cells in the body that are diploid include, epithelial cells, somatic cells, liver cells, blood cells, nerve cells, etc.</u></em>
However, <u><em>mature sex cells are haploid, which means they have one set of 23 chromosomes which means they have 23 chromosomes.</em></u> Sex cells are the results of meiosis type of cell division in which a diploid cell divides to form four daughter cells that are haploid.
