Diploid – 2 sets of chromosomes Diploid – 2 sets of chromosomes (ex. 46 in human body cells) – 2n(ex. 46 in human body cells) – 2n

Haploid – 1 set of chromosomes Haploid – 1 set of chromosomes (ex. 23 in human sex cells) - n(ex. 23 in human sex cells) - n

Chromatin and Chromatin and ChromosomesChromosomes

Chromatin is the thin, threadlike DNA found when Chromatin is the thin, threadlike DNA found when the cell is not dividing.the cell is not dividing.

Chromosomes are the thick coiled visible form of Chromosomes are the thick coiled visible form of DNA found during cell division.DNA found during cell division.

Cell CycleCell Cycle During the cell cycle, a cell grows, During the cell cycle, a cell grows,

replicates (copies) all of its DNA, and replicates (copies) all of its DNA, and divides into two daughter cells, which divides into two daughter cells, which each receives an exact copy of the each receives an exact copy of the parent cell’s DNA.parent cell’s DNA.

In humans, parent cells have 46 In humans, parent cells have 46 chromosomes, so each daughter cell will chromosomes, so each daughter cell will have 46 chromosomes.have 46 chromosomes.
