Hey Guys, can you help me with my question I posted, like two hours ago? I have it in my profile but I can also put it here. It's: "Explain what a haploid cell is as if you were talking to an 8-10-year-old." PLEASE HELP. PLEASE DON'T LET THIS TURN INTO A QUESTION THAT'S NOT ANSWERED FOR A WEEK.

Well you have to tell the child that genetics is the study of how traits(characters) are passed on from parent to offspring. Such traits include height, weight, facial features etc.

Chromosomes are the cells that carry those traits in the body. Human beings usually have 46 chromosomes but during reproduction, the chromosomes are halved to give 23 which is in its haploid state so that each parent gives 23 chromosomes each to get 46 chromosomes which is the standard number of chromosomes for humans and animals.

Haploid means a single set of these chromosomes donated by the parent during reproduction while the 46 chromosomes which is achieved after reproduction is referred to as Diploid which means 2 set of the chromosomes from both parents.

it's diluted or concentrated

in a diluted solution, you can add a lot more solute but in concentrated only a little more can be added
