![Page 19: Topic 3 Genetics 3.1 Genes. Understandings A gene is a heritable factor that consists of a length of DNA and influences a specific characteristic.](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022020417/56649f125503460f94c25ac5/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Diploid nuclei have pairs of homologous chromosomes
• Diploid= 2n• Haploid= n• Only gametes (sperm and egg cells) are
haploid.• If an organism has 42 chromosomes in their
haploid cells, how many would be in their diploid?
