diploidien
Diploidien is a term used in biology to describe an organism or cell that possesses two sets of chromosomes, one inherited from each parent. This condition is known as diploidy and is characteristic of most eukaryotic organisms during most of their life cycle. In diploid organisms, each chromosome from one parent pairs with a homologous chromosome from the other parent, forming a pair. This pairing is crucial for genetic recombination and the formation of genetically diverse gametes during sexual reproduction.
Diploidy is contrasted with haploidy, where an organism or cell has only one set of chromosomes. Haploid
Diploid organisms can undergo meiosis, a type of cell division that reduces the chromosome number by half,
Diploidy is not universal; some organisms, such as certain fungi and plants, can be polyploid, possessing more
