Haploid means that the cell has one of each kind of chromosome. The set concept will be used throughout the rest of this lab, so the following questions were designed to aid you in understanding and recognizing sets. Remember that a set is a group of objects related in function and generally used together. 1. Pretend that the fingers of one hand represent chromosomes. (Count your thumb as a finger.)

Is there more than one of each kind of line? d. Judging by the set definition, you have of lines. set(s) Answers: d%3D1 ou=) d=1 ou=) d=1 ou=) b=yes a=4 b=yes b=yes a=5 a=7 # 2 # 3 231 4.
