Question

the total number of chromosomes in a cell is the haploid number times the ploidy. true false

Explanation:

The formula for calculating the total number of chromosomes in a cell is \( \text{Total chromosomes}=\text{Haploid number}\times\text{Ploidy}\). For example, in a diploid (\(2n\)) cell, if the haploid number (\(n\)) is 23 (as in human gametes), then the total number of chromosomes is \(23\times2 = 46\) (as in human somatic cells).

Answer:

True
