A cell’s DNA consists of 12 pairs of homologous chromosomes. What is its diploid number? What is its haploid number?

By the process of mitosis, diploid chromosomes are produced. Diploid chromosomes are the number of chromosomes which are present in each cell of an organism except the sex cells. Each chromosomes occur in pairs and hence are known as diploids in these cells.

As a result of meiosis, haploid chromosomes are produced. In the sex cells, the numbers of chromosomes is reduced to half so that chromosome consistence can be achieved after fertilization.

The molecule which has stored all the genetic information and controls the functioning of the human body.
It also regulates the formation of enzymes and protein.

According to the question, the DNA has the haploid number of chromosomes. therefore the haploid number of chromosomes is 12 and the diploid number of chromosomes is 24.

Hence, the correct answer is 12 and 24.
