***A*** ∻Key Concept∻ ⚹Haploid cells⚹ ∻Explanation∻ ⚹Haploid cells contain only one set of chromosomes, so there are no homologous pairs.⚹ ***D*** ∻Key Concept∻ ⚹Diploid number⚹ ∻Explanation∻ ⚹The diploid number (2n) is twice the haploid number (n). Since the haploid number is 5, the diploid number is $2 imes 5 = 10$.⚹◊What is the significance of homologous pairs of chromosomes in a cell's genetic makeup?⍭ Generate me a similar question◊
