Diploidies

/dɪˈploɪdiz/ noun

Definition

Plural of diploidy; multiple instances or types of the condition of having two complete sets of chromosomes.

Etymology

From 'diploidy' + '-ies' (plural form). This rare plural form appears in technical genetics papers when discussing different chromosomal combinations across populations or species.

Kelly Says

In genetics, you sometimes need to talk about different types of diploidy in different organisms—like how your diploidy differs from a potato plant's diploidy even though you're both diploid.
