From this number of chromosomes, can we determine whether these two living things are good or bad? <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Not at all. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Because chromosomes will not be better or worse based only on their number or size.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Like a book, a larger number of chromosomes is the same as a book that has many series. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Books with more series do not mean they have more or better information than those with fewer series. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">For example, Tere Liye&#8217;s Bumi series which consists of 13 books does not automatically contain more and better information than Dee Lestari&#8217;s Supernova series with 6 books.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">If you want, you can even think of chromosomes as the number of words in the two book series. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Suppose the 13 books in the Earth series have a word count of 1.3 million words while Supernova has 600 thousand words.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Can you judge which one is funnier, more enjoyable, or of better quality from the number of words? <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">No, right? <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Because each book in each series has different content, so do living creatures.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"Apa_Itu_Diploid\" class=\"ez-toc-section\"><\/span><b><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">What is Diploid?<\/span><\/span><\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">To answer the question above, we will start from the beginning, namely the meaning. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">So for those of you who don&#8217;t know, diploid is a cell that has two complete sets of chromosomes (2n). <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">These two sets of chromosomes come from the parents, one from the father and one from the mother.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Apart from diploids, there are also cells that only have one or half the number of chromosomes of their parent (n). <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Thus, in this world there are two types of living creatures when viewed from the number of chromosomes in their bodies, namely living creatures with diploid chromosomes and those with haploid chromosomes.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">We have 46 diploid chromosomes, aka 23 pairs. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">This means that if we break it down, in our bodies there are 23 chromosomes from the mother and 23 chromosomes from the father. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Apart from that, there are also haploid chromosomes, totaling 23 chromosomes. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Haploid chromosomes are found in egg cells (for women) and sperm cells (for men). <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Therefore, when egg cells and sperm cells unite, they will form a new human who has 46 chromosomes in their body.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Animals are the same as humans, because almost all types of animal cells are diploid. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Likewise, all organisms that produce sexually, all have two copies of chromosomes with different origins, namely the father and the mother. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">That way, all organisms can produce better offspring.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">In this world there are also several species that have haplodiploid cells. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Usually in this species, males have haploid cells while females have diploid cells.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<pre><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>Read Also :\u00a0<a style=\"color: #ff0000;\" title=\"Permalink to: What is a Taproot?
