Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Somatic cells are diploid, meaning they have two copies of the human genome (one from each parent). This includes all cells in the body except for sperm and egg cells (gametes), which are haploid and contain only one copy of the genome. Stem cells, which have the potential to differentiate into different cell types, can be either diploid or haploid depending on their origin and stage of development.
