genetics terminology

Monoploid refers to a cell or organism that has only one set of chromosomes. This term is often used in genetics and biology to describe organisms or cells that are haploid, meaning they contain a single complete set of chromosomes, as observed in various stages of reproduction.

Synonyms

haploid

Examples of usage

  • The monoploid state is critical in the study of plant breeding.
  • Monoploid organisms are useful for genetic mapping.
  • Researchers often analyze monoploid cells for mutation studies.

Etymology

The term 'monoploid' is derived from the Greek words 'mono', meaning 'single', and 'ploid', which relates to the set of chromosomes in a cell. It gained prominence in the field of genetics during the mid-20th century as scientists began to explore the complexities of cellular organization and genetic variation. The concept of monoploidy is crucial for understanding various kinds of organisms, particularly in research areas like agriculture, where monoploid cells can enhance certain hybridization processes. By focusing on monoploid organisms, geneticists can simplify genetic analyses and better understand gene behavior and inheritance patterns.
