diploid is 2n
haploid is n

Diploid organisms have two sets of chromosomes, one from each parent.
Prokaryotes are haploid organisms.
27. To get the haploid number from the diploid number you halve it. To get the diploid number from the haploid number you double it.
The Halpoid number will be 39 because it is half of the Diploid number,

They merge.
The somatic (body) cells of that organism is the diploid number, 18. The number of chromosomes in the gametes ( sex cells) is half of the diploid number or 9.
Diploid organisms have two sets of chromosomes, one from each parent.
An insect's diploid number refers to the total number of chromosomes present in its somatic cells, which is typically represented as 2n. This number varies widely among different insect species; for example, fruit flies (Drosophila melanogaster) have a diploid number of 8, while ants can have diploid numbers ranging from 2 to over 100. The diploid number is crucial for understanding genetic variation and inheritance in these organisms.
Diploid means whole and Haploid means half is the best way to think about it. So if the whole is 12 the half is 6.
Prokaryotes are haploid organisms.
Cells which contain two of each chromosome (two sets of chromosomes) are said to be diploid. In most organisms, the body cells are diploid.
Organisms that have two sets of chromosomes are said to be diploid, meaning they have two complete sets of chromosomes (one from each parent). This is the typical chromosome number for most animals and plants.
