Haploid means half of the normal.

A normal human cell has 46 chromosomes or 23 pairs of chromosomes.

So a sex or germ cell has 23 chromosomes none of them paired.

This is so in fertilization the germ cell of the male can combine with the germ cell of a female to form a new normal cell with 46 chromosomes equally paired.

The combination of two haploid cell results in the formation of a new living cell.

How many chromosomes are in a sperm cell from an animal whose somatic cells have 32 chromosomes (2n=32)? If 2n=32, how many chromosomes are in a haploid cell?

So in an animal with 32 (2n) chromosomes in somatic cell, number of chromosomes in sperm will be 16 (n).

Is it true that your somatic cells have chromosomes just like the ones in your dad's sperm and your mom's egg, but that those chromosomes are not so similar to the chromosomes that your dad had in his somatic cells? How can this be explained?

Somatic cells will be in diploid condition and Germ Cells will be in Haploid condition. So, Somatic cells cannot have chromosomes like those in the sperm or egg cell.

Is a kidney cell an example of a sex cell, a germ cell, a somatic cell or a haploid cell?

Kidney is not a reproductive organ, hence there is no germ cell or haploid cell in kidney. Cells in kidney are all diploid.

A fruit fly has diploid cells with 8 chromosomes. How many chromosomes are in its haploid gametes?

Diploid cells always have an even number of chromosomes because the chromosomes are found in pairs (2n). Haploid cells only contain half the number of chromosomes (n). So you just...

Which kind of cell can divide by mitosis, a germ cell or a somatic cell? What kind can undergo meiosis?

Mitosis is for growth and repair. One cell becomes two daughter cells with each containing 46 chromosomes and retains the exact feature of that cell. Meiosis is for reproductive cells....

A sperm cell of an alligator has 16 chromosomes.what is the total number of chromosomes normally present in a stomach cell of this alligator? A)8 B)16 C)32 D)48

Basically, a germ cell (sperm or egg cell) is $n$. Now, the stomach cell, which is a somatic cell, is $2n$. If you substitute $2(16)=32$ Germ cells have gametes while...
