Diploid (2n) number of 38, how many chromosomes would be present in an epithelial cell

The epithelial cell will have 38 chromosomes

A 2n or 2 (19) = 38 chromosomes. This is because n is called haploid number of chromosomes; the number of chromosomes present in the gametes. Epithelial cells like other body cells divides through the process of mitosis; therefore; the parent cells yields daughter cells with the same number of chromosomes (diploid). The other haploid (n) number is present in the gametes which divides by the process of meiosis.
