Question

An organism has a haploid number of 20 what is the organisms diploid number

Answer 1

Haploid is 1/2....and diploid is doubled....so I say 40

Answer 2

Answer:

$40$

Explanation:

The number of chromosome sets in a diploid is just the double of number of chromosomes in its haploid. For instance, if a haploid has “n” number of chromosome set, then a diploid will have “2n” of chromosome sets.  

Here, the number of chromosome sets in haploid is equal to $20$

Then the number of chromosome sets in diploid will be equal to  

$2 * n\\= 2* 20\\= 40$

Hence, the organisms diploid number is $40$
