diploidiset
Diploidiset refers to the condition in which an organism possesses two complete sets of chromosomes, one inherited from each parent. This is the most common chromosomal arrangement in sexually reproducing organisms, including humans and most plants and animals. The term originates from the Greek words *diploos* (meaning "double") and *idein* (meaning "to see" or "to perceive"), reflecting the duplication of genetic material.
In diploid organisms, each somatic (body) cell contains a diploid number of chromosomes, typically denoted as
Diploidy plays a crucial role in genetic inheritance and evolution. It allows for the masking of recessive
While diploidy is widespread, some organisms, like bacteria and certain plants, may exist primarily in a haploid
