A species with a diploid number of 26, so 26= 2n ( a diploid cell),
so in haploid condition, chromosome number becomes half (13 in this case). triplod is when 2n + n, and 2n +2n ( tetploid). Trisomy and monosomy is the addition or deletion of a sinlge chromosome of a sinlge set .
Haploid=13, one chromosome from each pair of chromosome set,
Meiosis only occurs in reproductive cells, as the goal is to create haploid gametes that will be used in fertilization. Meiosis is important to, but not the same as, sexual reproduction. Meiosis is necessary for sexual reproduction to occur, as it results in the formation of gametes sperm and eggs.
