Question

The diploid number of chromosomes in humans (homo sapiens) is 46 and the diploid number of chromosomes in rice (oryza sativa) is 24. What does this indicate about diploid chromosome numbers?

Answer 1

For humans, the diploid chromosome number equation is 2n = 46 because humans have two sets of 23 chromosomes The diploid chromosome number varies by organism and ranges from 10 to 50 chromosomes per cell.

What is Mitosis?

Mitosis is a type of cell division that occurs in somatic or body cells. In mitosis, and a cell undergoes division to produce two daughter cells each with the same number of chromosome as the parent cells.

Mitosis produces diploid cells and diploid cells are cells that have the same number of chromosomes as the parent cell.

Thus,  The diploid chromosome number varies by organism and ranges from 10 to 50 chromosomes per cell.
