Haploid and Diploid Cells - Cell Division

Description

Haploid cells have one set of chromosomes. Whereas, Diploid cells have two sets of chromosomes. This quiz assesses the information in the notes and flashcard deck on the role of haploid and diploid cells in cell division and cell continuity. It would appeal to anyone studying intermediate level biology.
