Definition Ploidy analysis is a test that measures the amount of DNA in tumor cells. It is also called DNA ploidy analysis. Purpose DNA ploidy analysis is used in addition to the traditional grading system as another way to evaluate how malignant a tumor might be. The advantage of this test is that it provides a numeric, and therefore objective, evaluation of how aggressive the cancer might be. Because this test was relatively new in 2001, and the significance of information gained by this test was not completely understood, this test had not yet replaced traditional systems of tumor grading. It would be used only to supplement those tests in order to give the doctor as much information about the nature of the tumor as possible. Doctors may also use this test to help predict how a tumor may respond to the planned therapy.

What is the ploidy level of body cells?
23
What is the ploidy level of endosperm of gymnosperm?
Endosperm of gymnosperm is haploid(ploidy n), develop from megaspore (n) before fertilization. ploidy of endosperm in angiosperm is 3n(central cell fused with one male gamete i.e 2n+n).
What is ploidy of the endosperm?
3n
The ploidy of a cell in Metaphase you is haploid?
False
What is the ploidy of the zygote produced by fertilization?
2n
What is the ploidy level of body cells?
23
What is the ploidy level of a seed coat?
diploid
A zygote possesses what ploidy level?
A zygote is a diploid

What is the ploidy level of the micropyle?
The micropyle is a hole in the seed coat, it is literally nothing. Hence it is not made of cells and has no chromosomes.
Somatic cells in a human have a ploidy of what?
Generally, a somatic cell in a human body has 46 chromosomes, which are two complete sets of 23 chromosome pairs. Because they have two sets, these cells have a ploidy level of diploid.
Which statement correctly describes how cellular DNA content and ploidy levels change during meiosis you and meiosis II?
DNA content is halved in both meiosis I and meiosis II. Ploidy level changes from diploid to haploid in meiosis I, and remains haploid in meiosis II.
What is the ploidy of animal cells that are capable of meiosis?
Ploidy refers to the number of sets of chromosomes in an organism. The ploidy of animal cells that are capable of meiosis is diploid.
What is ploidy of the endosperm?
3n
What is the ploidy of a embryo?
2n
What is camelina sativa ploidy?
Its Hexaploid
If the chromosome no of a plant is 16 what would the chromosome no of the ploidy level of the microspore mother cell and the endosperm cells be?
Mmc's=16 as its diploidendosperm=48 as it is triploid 3n
