The correct answer is b). A diploid (2n) cell contains two complete sets of chromosomes, one from each parent. In humans, this means 46 chromosomes (23 pairs). Haploid (n) cells contain only one set of chromosomes (23 chromosomes in humans). a)* Pollen grain is a haploid reproductive cell from plants, not humans. b)* A skin cell is a somatic (body) cell in humans. All somatic cells are diploid (2n). c)* An ovum cell (egg cell) is a female gamete. Gametes are haploid (n). d)* A sperm cell is a male gamete. Gametes are haploid (n). Therefore, a skin cell is an example of a diploid cell in humans. The final answer is b. Skin cell. Last free one today — make it count tomorrow, or type /upgrade for unlimited.
