Summary Introduction
To explain:
The difference between haploid, diploid, and polyploidy.
Introduction:
The ploidy of the cells refers to the presence of a number of sets of chromosomes in that cell. The ploidy of the individuals, cells and tissues are described by the number of sets of a chromosome present in a cell.
