Haploid: A cell or organism that has only one complete set of chromosomes, as opposed to diploid cells, which have two sets. Embryonic Stem Cells (ESCs): Pluripotent stem cells derived from the ...

The nucleus of a germline stem cell undergoes two divisions, firstly separating homologous chromosomes and secondly separating chromatids. Haploid gametes contain 23 single chromosomes.

Every chromosome in one set has a matching partner in the other set that has the same length of DNA and the same genes. Cells that contain two sets of chromosomes are said to be diploid.

5. Giant multinucleate "pollen grains" are sometimes found as a result of the coalescence of contiguous pollen mother cells. 6. Fusion of somatic nuclei in pairs, and subsequent mitosis, frequently ...

However, in budding yeast, spores are produced within diploid cells. During this process, de novo membrane structures form within the cytosol, encapsulating the meiotic haploid nuclei to produce ...
