the number of sets of chromosomes within a cell or organism. Each set is designated n so one set is n is haploid, two sets is 2n is diploid, three sets is 3n is triploid, four sets is 4n is tetraploid, etc. Also, unspecified multiple sets (but more than two) is polyploidy, and extremely large number of sets may be designated by number (for example 15-ploid for fifteen sets). The number of chromosome sets that make up the [[genome of an organism, e.g. [[polyploidy.

Answer:

The correct answer is Haploid cell or haploid organism.

Explanation:

Haploid cells are the cell that has only one copy of each chromosome instead of two copies as in diploid cells (2n). These are having half chromosome number than diploid cells that why they are symbolized by "n".

These cells are commonly gametes or sex cells that fuse to form diploid condition in most of the organisms. These cells are the result of meiosis cell division.

Thus, the correct answer is haploid cell or organism.
