Quizplus · Accepted Answer

If an organism has a single copy of each chromosome, then it is haploid. Haploid organisms have half the number of chromosomes as diploid organisms, which have two copies of each chromosome. Aneuploid organisms have an abnormal number of chromosomes, tetraploid organisms have four copies of each chromosome, and polyploid organisms have more than two sets of chromosomes.
