The biological name of house fly is Musca domestica. The cells of the fly are present in diploid state, i.e. 2n state. Then diploid number of chromosomes in house fly is <u>12</u>.

2n = 12, n = 6

This means it has 6 pairs of chromosomes. The adult fly has 12 chromosomes and gametes will have 6 chromosomes.
