Usage: biology; genetics

1. An organism or cell that is euploid; a euploid individual.
Usage: biology; genetics

Examples

• Most plants and animals in nature are euploid, with stable chromosome sets.
• Humans are euploid organisms with 46 chromosomes arranged in 23 pairs.
• The euploid condition ensures proper genetic balance during cell division.
• Polyploid organisms, which have multiple complete sets of chromosomes, are considered euploid.
• A euploid cell divides normally because all chromosomes are present in balanced numbers.
• The researcher identified the specimen as euploid after analyzing its karyotype.
