    2/1: 2 for females, males are haploid and thus have 1; smallest number possible. Other ant species have more chromosomes. [5] [5] 2 Spider mite (Tetranychidae) 4–14: Spider mites (family Tetranychidae) are typically haplodiploid (males are haploid, while females are diploid) [6] [6] 3 Cricotopus sylvestris: 4 [7] 4 Oikopleura dioica: 6 [8] 5 ...

  3. Biological life cycle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biological_life_cycle

    [3] Life cycles that include sexual reproduction involve alternating haploid (n) and diploid (2n) stages, i.e., a change of ploidy is involved. To return from a diploid stage to a haploid stage, meiosis must occur. In regard to changes of ploidy, there are three types of cycles:

    A comparison of sexual reproduction in predominantly haploid organisms and predominantly diploid organisms. 1) A haploid organism is on the left and a diploid organism is on the right. 2 and 3) Haploid egg and sperm carrying the dominant purple gene and the recessive blue gene, respectively. These gametes are produced by simple mitosis of cells ...

  6. Doubled haploidy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doubled_haploidy

    A doubled haploid (DH) is a genotype formed when haploid cells undergo chromosome doubling. Artificial production of doubled haploids is important in plant breeding . Haploid cells are produced from pollen or egg cells or from other cells of the gametophyte , then by induced or spontaneous chromosome doubling, a doubled haploid cell is produced ...

  7. Polyploidy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polyploidy

    This image shows haploid (single), diploid (double), triploid (triple), and tetraploid (quadruple) sets of chromosomes. Triploid and tetraploid chromosomes are examples of polyploidy. Polyploidy is a condition in which the cells of an organism have more than two paired sets of ( homologous ) chromosomes .

  8. Sexual reproduction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sexual_reproduction

    In the first stage of sexual reproduction, meiosis, the number of chromosomes is reduced from a diploid number (2n) to a haploid number (n). During fertilisation , haploid gametes come together to form a diploid zygote , and the original number of chromosomes is restored.

  9. Meiocyte - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meiocyte

    Through meiosis, the diploid meiocyte divides into four genetically different haploid gametes. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] The control of the meiocyte through the meiotic cell cycle varies between different groups of organisms.
