Is genetics haploid or diploid

Answer 1

It depends on what kind of organisms' genetics you are talking about.

Genetics in general is both haploid (a single set of chromosomes) and diploid (two sets of chromosomes), there can also be more than two sets of chromosomes such as in plants with polyploidy.

If you are specifically meaning humans though, we are diploid. We usually get one set of 23 chromosomes from our father and the other set from our mother which totals 46 chromosomes, however in some circumstances we can get a couple more or less (e.g an extra 18th chromosome results in Downs Syndrome). The act of this combination leads to the diversity between everyone.

Answer 2

They are haploid, meaning they only have one copy of each chromosome.

germ cells are sperm and eggs. Each of which have half the amount of DNA of other cells in the body becasue they combine to make a single diploid cell with the full amount of DNA, 2 copies of each chromosome.

Answer 3

Genetics involves the study of genes, which are segments of DNA that carry hereditary information. Genes are typically found in pairs within the cells of an organism, making genetics diploid in nature.

Answer 4

Actually, it is neither haploid nor diploid. It is triploid.

Answer 5

Germ cells after meiosis are haploid.

Answer 6

haploid
