Definition of diploid in English: diploidadjective ˈdɪplɔɪdˈdɪpˌlɔɪd Genetics 1(of a cell or nucleus) containing two complete sets of chromosomes, one from each parent. Compare with haploid Example sentencesExamples - We performed a similar experiment using h/h diploid cells as the host.
- However, to a low extent, viable spores can also be recovered from a very small population of homozygous diploid nuclei in an otherwise haploid plasmodium.
- We started the experiments described below by establishing large populations of diploid cells.
- Oocytes and sperm are haploid, with one set of chromosomes, whereas somatic cells are diploid, with two chromosomal sets.
- An obvious question is whether the mat bias is absent in azygotic meiosis after homologous chromosomes have coexisted in diploid cells for many mitotic divisions.
- 1.1 (of an organism or part) composed of diploid cells.
Example sentencesExamples - We examined the genetics of hybrid incompatibility between two closely related diploid hermaphroditic plant species.
- The compactness of rice and sorghum genomes is evident compared to barley and diploid wheat genomes.
- Note that copy numbers in tetraploids were slightly less than double those in respective diploid progenitors.
- The practical application that is considered is the full-sib family of a diploid outbreeding species.
- Currently, six major tetraploid races are recognized and their diploid progenitors have been identified.
noun ˈdɪplɔɪdˈdɪpˌlɔɪd Genetics A diploid cell, organism, or species. Example sentencesExamples - We conclude that the haploids had a greater frequency of mutant phenotypes than the diploids.
- The diploid ancestor could not be identified because among the South American diploids there were no species matching in the FISH or RFLP pattern of rDNA.
- In diploids, sexual reproduction promotes both the segregation of alleles at the same locus and the recombination of alleles at different loci.
- Previous work has calculated the covariance expected under autosomal inheritance in diploids and haploids.
- Arabidopsis thaliana and many closely related species are diploids with relatively few recent gene duplications.
Derivatives noun Genetics First, the increase in frequency of original gene and duplicate (corresponding to the rise of diploidy from haploid organisms) is not at issue here. Example sentencesExamples - Little is known about the transition from diploidy to polyploidy but in some species, triploids are thought to function as intermediates in this transition.
- Furthermore, it can be shown to hold for PGE with male somatic diploidy and for polyploid apomixis as well.
- Recessive deleterious mutations are a major cause for the phenomenon of inbreeding depression, and diploidy may have evolved to mask the effects of recessive deleterious mutations.
- This article generalizes their approach to allow for arbitrary modes of inheritance, including diploidy, polyploidy, sex linkage, cytoplasmic inheritance, and genomic imprinting.
Origin Late 19th century: from Greek diplous 'double' + -oid.
