Answer: Haploid cells have 23 chromosomes while diploid cells have 46 (23 pairs) chromosomes

Explanation: Haploid cells are produced in a type of cell division called meiosis. In meiosis, parent cells undergo two cell divisions to produce four daughter cells with half the number of chromosomes in the parent cell. Diploid cells are produced by a type of cell division known as mitosis. In mitosis, parent cells undergo one cell division to produce two identical daughter cells that have the same number of chromosomes as the parent cell. Gametes undergo meiosis while somatic cells undergo mitosis.

Why is the frequency of recombinant gametes always half the frequency of crossing over?
kvv77 [185]
Crossing over occurs at the four-strand stage when two homologous chromosomes, each consisting of a pair of sister chromatids, are paired. Each crossover involves just two of the four strands and generates two recombinant strands.

Hope this helps!
