About MolGenT

Eukaryotic cells are classified as either diploid or haploid, depending upon the number of copies of DNA they possess in the form of chromosomes. A haploid cell, which contains only a single copy of each chromosome, is depicted dividing by mitosis to produce two identical daughter cells. This cycle is interrupted when one haploid cell encounters another and mating occurs, forming a diploid zygote with two copies of each chromosome. The new diploid cell grows and divides mitotically, forming two identical diploid daughter cells. One of these cells undergoes meiosis, a process which reduces the number of chromosomes by half and forms four haploid spore cells.
