Common terms to describe chromosomes are diploid, haploid, and homologous.
00:05
This video will discuss these terms and characteristics of homologous chromosomes.
00:10
Let's start with diploid.
00:11
So, this chromosome is actually diploid.
00:15
And this is mainly referring to somatic cells.
00:19
We often note that a cell is diploid with two in.
00:25
So that means that both members of the homologous pair are there.
00:29
And you can see that there are two pieces to this chromosome.
00:33

00:39
Let me use in for haploid.
00:42
A haploid chromosome would consist of something like this...
