Detailed explanation-1: -Since haploid cells have half the number of chromosomes than diploids, the haploid number of chromosomes for a cell whose diploid counterpart has a diploid number of 12 would be 6 (12/2=6). Each haploid cell in this case would possess 6 chromosomes.

Detailed explanation-2: -If an organism’s haploid number is 6, its diploid number is 3.

Detailed explanation-3: -The diploid (2n) number of chromosomes is the number of chromosomes in a somatic, body cell. This number is double the haploid(n) or monoploid (n) number. The haploid (n) number of chromosomes is the number of chromosomes found in a gamete of reproductive cell. This number is half of the diploid (2n) number.

Detailed explanation-4: -In plant-A, 2n= 12, n= gametic chromosome number. This means the number of chromosomes in a gamete of plant A is 6 and gametes will fuse to form a diploid organism having 12 chromosomes in each cell.
