diploid, 2n
More than two sets of chromosomes
it has two sets of chromosomes
Two sets for twelve chromosomes.
the prefix di- means 2. so a diploid is two sets of chromosomes.
Polyploidy occurs in cells and organisms when there are more than two homologous sets of chromosomes. "occurrence of polyploidy suggests an evolutionary advantage of having multiple sets of genetic material for adaptive evolution"
Ploidy is another species that has 23 chromosomes. Many organisms have more than two sets of homologous chromosomes.
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.
Organisms that have more than two complete sets of chromosomes are said to be polyploid. This often occurs in plants.
Polyploidy occurs in cells and organisms when there are more than two paired sets of chromosomes.
it is sperm. NEW ANSWER Ploidy refers to how many complete sets of chromosomes a cell has. A diploid cell will have two sets of chromosomes, one set from each parent. A haploid cell is a cell with only one set of chromosomes. For example, humans are diploid organisms - our cells each have two copies of 23 different chromosomes for a total of 46. Humans do produce haploid sperm and egg cells (with only one set of chromosomes for a total of 23 chromosomes per cell) during meiosis for reproduction as these two haploid cells can then fuse to produce a diploid fertilized embryo. However, not all haploid cells are sex cells for multicellular organisms. All prokaryotes (i.e. bacteria) are considered haploid because they have a single circular chromosome. Many organisms - plants, funghi, yeast - go through haploid and diploid stages of their life cycles. Some insects are haploid.
