If the Diploid number of Carrots is 18, the haploid number is
A
18
B
9
C
27
D
36
Explanation: 

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 diploid number can be calculated by multiplying the haploid number by 2. The variable ‘N’ represents the number of chromosomes in the genome.
