n! Or more specifically, 2n = diploid cell n = haploid cell Think of n as one set of chromosomes
if 2N=Diploid which is two complete sets of chromosomes the at one complete set is haploid that means its 1n or just n= haploid
The difference is the color
An organism is One person/animal (or w/e the organism is) and the population is all of them in total.
Ploidy number refers to the number of complete sets of chromosomes in a cell. In humans, for example, the typical ploidy number is diploid (2n), meaning there are two sets of chromosomes, one inherited from each parent. Certain organisms or specific cells can be haploid (1n), with one set of chromosomes, or polyploid, having more than two sets. Ploidy plays a crucial role in genetics, influencing traits and the organism's overall biology.
In one sense it is called a Diploid Organism.

Meiosis reduces number of chromosomes to one half . when two gametes fuse , it restores original diploid number of chromosomes .With out this diploid number of chromosomes could not be maintained .
An organism or cell with two sets of chromosomes is diploid, meaning it has pairs of homologous chromosomes. In humans, each somatic cell typically contains 23 pairs of chromosomes, for a total of 46 chromosomes.
A diploid organism typically has 46 chromosomes, with 23 pairs. Each pair includes one chromosome from each parent.
A diploid cell contains two sets of chromosomes, one set from each parent. In humans, a diploid cell has 46 chromosomes organized into 23 pairs. This is in contrast to a haploid cell, which has only one set of chromosomes.
From a text book.. diploid cell- In an organism that reproduses sexually, a cell containing two homologous sets of chromosomes, one set of inherited from each parent; a 2n cell haploid cell- In the life cycle of an organism that reproduces sexually, a cell containing a single set of chromosomes; an n cell ...diploid?
The difference is with an asexually produced organism, the organism is created using only one parent. With a sexually produced organism, the organism is produced using two parents
Meiosis is needed to produce healthy offspring with a diploid chromosome set. Therefore, the diploid set from the mother as well as that one of the father needs to be reduced in half. So these reduced cells with haploid chromosome sets can merge and produce one diploid set. Without that reduction, two diploid sets would merge and the offspring would have a tetraploid set (=4 different allels for one gene). Maybe that's not that fatal. But just think furhter. If two of such children would reproduce, the outcome would be offspring with a octaploid set (= 8 copies for the same gene)!
2 one from the mother and one from the father assuming that it is of a diploid organism also if there is no genetic disease such as downs syndrome that could cause multiple copies of genes
Parthenogenesis diploid produces offspring with two sets of chromosomes, similar to sexual reproduction, resulting in genetic variation. Parthenogenesis haploid produces offspring with only one set of chromosomes, leading to clones of the mother with no genetic diversity.
Mendel's Law of Segregation states that a diploid organism carries two alleles for each gene, but only passes on one allele to each offspring. This process ensures genetic diversity and the random assortment of alleles into gametes.
