- Diploid Chromosome Number
Humans have a diploid chromosome number of 46 chromosomes. In other words, there are a total of 46 chromosomes in human cells. The diploid number varies depending on each species. Having a diploid chromosome number means that an organism?s cells contain...

Literally meaning: ?double bands?
Origin: Anc Greek
??????/diplos( =duplex) > ??-/di-(=prefix meaning twice) > ???/dis(=two, double)
??????/taenia(=band, ribon)> ?????/tanyo(=strain)
Coined/History
In 1912 by The Belgian cytologist and gynecologist Hans von Winiwarter (1875-1949) who had an interest in the nature of gender determination, reported from his studies of fetal ovaries that the human diploid chromosome number was probably 48.
Definition
Diplotene is one of the stages of prophase I in which each homologous chromosome pair have separated from one another except at chiasmata.
