Organisms that have one copy of each gene on each chromosome are?
Correct answer: B. Haploid
- A. Diploid
- B. Haploid
- C. Unicellular
- D. None of these
Explanation
Organisms that have one copy of each gene on each chromosome are called haploid organisms. Haploid organisms have a single set of chromosomes, whereas diploid organisms have two sets of chromosomes (one from each parent). In haploid organisms, each gene is represented by a single allele. Examples of haploid organisms include bacteria, some fungi, and gametes (sperm and egg cells) of higher organisms.

About Chromosomes
Chromosomes are DNA-protein structures that carry genes and become visible during cell division. Coverage includes chromatin, centromeres, sister chromatids, homologous chromosomes, chromosome number, and the distinction between diploid and haploid cells, with links to DNA replication, mitosis and meiosis.
