In biology and genetics, the germline is the population of a multicellular organism's cells that pass on their genetic material to the progeny. In other words, they are the cells that form the egg, sperm and the fertilised egg. Diploid refers to the number of complete chromosome sets present in each cell of an organism: diploid cells contain two complete sets. Haploid organisms, on the other hand, only contain one complete chromosome set. Polyploidy is a condition in which the cells of an organism have more than two paired sets of chromosomes. Most species whose cells have nuclei are diploid, meaning they have two sets of chromosomes—one set inherited from each parent. Gamete - a mature haploid male or female germ cell which is able to unite with another of the opposite sex in sexual reproduction to form a zygote. #Diploid #Haploid #polyploidSomatic #gamete #germline
