Haploid and diploid numbers are designated by the algebraic notations N and 2N, respectively. Either number can be calculated when the other is known. For example, if the haploid number (N) is 3, the diploid number (2N) is 2 × 3, or 6. If the diploid number (2N) is 12, the haploid number (N) is 12/2, or 6.

The table shows haploid or diploid numbers of a variety of organisms. Copy the table into your notebook and complete it. Then, use the table to answer the questions that follow.

The complete table is shown below:

Explanation:

Ploidy is a term used for the number of chromosomes that exist in a cell.

A haploid cell is one that contains only half of the chromosome (N) load, which is seen only in gametes. These cells come from a diploid cell and are subjected to a process of halving the chromosomes by meiosis. Diploid cells contain the full chromosome load (2N) and are somatic cells. The way a diploid cell multiplies is through mitosis.

The number of chromosomes in a diploid cell is always a par number.

I believe the answer is contains because with a non permeable membrane I don’t see how transportation can happen
