Answer:


40

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of chromosome sets in a diploid is just the double of number of chromosomes in its haploid. For instance, if a haploid has “n” number of chromosome set, then a diploid will have “2n” of chromosome sets.

Here, the number of chromosome sets in haploid is equal to
20

Then the number of chromosome sets in diploid will be equal to


2 * n\\= 2* 20\\= 40

Hence, the organisms diploid number is
40
