Haploidy: Classification and Origin

In this article we will discuss about:- 1. Classification of Haploids 2. Origin of Haploids 3. Meiosis. Classification of Haploids: According to their cytological features, haploids have been classified into different types (Fig. 17.1), a brief description of which is given below. I. Euhaploid: The chromosome number of such a haploid is an exact multiple of one of the basic [...]
