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] 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 ...

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 ...
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 .
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.
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.
