Normal body cells (in this example, any non-sex cell of the deer) contain a full set of all of the deer's chromosomes (or 2 n chromosomes), and are called diploid cells. In this case, 2 n =70.Normal body cells or dipoid cells may also be referred to as somatic cells in some texts.ametes or sex cells are also called haploid cells, because they have half the genetic information (half of the chromosomes) found in a normal cell in the body of an organism.
