Detailed explanation-1: -The total number of chromosomes is referred to as the chromosome number. The haploid number in humans is given as 2n=46, n = 23, this is because the haploid human cells possess one set of 23 chromosomes – 22 sets of autosomal chromosomes (non-sex chromosomes) and 1 set of sex chromosomes.

Detailed explanation-2: -However, during the process of reproduction the haploid cells unite to form a diploid zygote. If any organism has a haploid of 24 chromosomes, the total number of chromosomes in its diploid stage will be 48 chromosomes ( 24x2) Was this answer helpful?

Detailed explanation-3: -The basic chromosome number of carrots is 9–11. Most cultivated carrots are diploid (2n = 2x = 18).

Detailed explanation-4: -This is very important for the process of reproduction. So when a sperm and egg cell combine during fertilization, the resulting zygote will have 46 chromosomes. So to convert between haploid and diploid cells, we simply need to double the number of chromosomes.
