In diploid sexually reproducing organisms the diploid number of chromosomes is a) the number of chromosomes in a typical somatic cell (i. e. a liver cell) b) half the number of chromosomes in a somatic cell c) the number of pairs of homologous chromosomes in a somatic cell d) the number of chromosomes in a gamete e) the number of pairs of homologous chromosomes in a gamete.

e) the number of pairs of homologous chromosomes in a gamete.

Explanation:

A diploid cell is defined as the the cell containing two complete set of homologous chromosomes in a gamete.

In humans or other diploid sexually reproducing organism, sperm get fertilised with egg and produces  a gamete with two haploid sets of chromosomes form a complete diploid set.A human diploid cell has 46 chromosomes in 23 pairs.

Hence, the correct option is e)

these macromolecules could either be amino acids, proteins or nucleic acids. they are responsible for the chemical changes and reactions that affects largely the cell and its composition. take for instance the cytoplasm of the cell where these organelles are settled. these simple organelles are composed of macromolecules which ignites and catalyses different functions that enables cells, in macro-perspective in motion and metabolism. in intestines for example, metabolism happens and breaking down parts of a food to simpler compounds that are used and these nutrients delivered throughout the body and again broken down by into smaller components.
