Most multicellular organisms are:
Correct answer: B. Diploid
- A. Haploid
- B. Diploid
- C. Single nucleus
- D. None of these
Explanation
Diploid organisms have cells with two sets of chromosomes (2n), one set inherited from each parent. Most multicellular organisms, including plants, animals, and fungi, are diploid for the majority of their life cycle. Diploid cells are present in the somatic cells of the organism and undergo mitosis for growth, development, and tissue repair.
