Summary Introduction
Introduction:
In multicellular organisms, the cells can be either haploid or diploid. Diploid cells have two sets of homologous chromosomes and the haploid cells have a single set of chromosomes. These types of cells are formed by the parent cells, and hence, found diploid in nature.
