Question

if an organisms diploid number is 12, what would be its haploid number?
○ 3
○ 6
○ 24
○ 48

Explanation:

Step1: Recall the relationship between diploid and haploid numbers

The haploid number ($n$) is half of the diploid number ($2n$). So the formula is $n=\frac{2n}{2}$.

Step2: Substitute the diploid number into the formula

Given the diploid number ($2n$) is 12, then the haploid number $n = \frac{12}{2}=6$.

Answer:

B. 6
