What are the haploid numbers for the fern and onion plants?
The diploid number of the fern and onion plants are
fern: 1010
onion plant: 16
The formula of the diploid is 2N where N represents the haploid number.
Diploid = 2N ;
fern:
1010 = 2N
1010/2 = N
505 = N ;
onion plant:
16 = 2N
16/2 = N
8 = N
The haploid number for the fern is 505 and the haploid number for the onion plant is 8.
The diploid number for the fern and onion plants are
Fern: 505
Onion plant: 8
The single set of chromosomes represent by n are called haploid number.
The diploid number of fern 2N is 1010
haploid will be
1010 = 2N
\(\rm N = \dfrac{1010}{2} =505\)
For onion plant
16 = 2N
\(\rm N = \dfrac{16}{2} =8\)
Thus, The haploid number of the fern is 505 and the haploid number of the onion plant is 8.
