adj
(biology, of a species) In which members of one sex are haploid and members of the other are diploid; found especially in the Hymenoptera
n
(biology) A sex-determination system in which males develop from unfertilized eggs and are haploid, and females develop from fertilized eggs and are diploid.
n
A cell which is haploid.
adj
(genetics, of a region of a chromosome) lethal if haploid
adj
Having (or being in) a haploid phase

(genetics) The state of being haploproficient
n
(genetics) The differential recombination rates between the sexes of a species
n
(genetics) The karyotype of a heterozygous organism
n
(genetics) The state of being holocentric.
adj
(genetics) Relating to the second nuclear division in meiosis
n
(genetics) A karyotype that is homozygous for a particular chromosome mutation
n
The quality of being homoploid.

n
The state of being hypodiploid; hypoploidy in diploid organisms (including humans).
adj
(genetics) Occurring between chromosomes, or from one chromosome to another
adj
(genetics) Between cells or organisms that have different ploidies
adj
Between organisms that have different ploidy
adj
Between organisms that have the same ploidy
adj
(genetics) Originating from a single wild female
n
A genetic condition in which a person is born with two X chromosomes and one Y chromosome.
adj
(genetics) metacentric and polycentric
adj
(genetics) Having a single centromere
n
(genetics) A single clone
adj
(genetics) That has resulted from a single paralogous diversion from a common ancestor
adj
(of an individual) Containing cells of varying genetic constitution.
n
(genetics) A chimera containing genetically distinct cells originating from three or more zygotes.
adj
Involving multiple chromosomes
adj
(genetics) Not tetrasomic
n
(genetics) A nullizygous cell or organism
adj
Describing any polyploid organism alive in the geologic past
adj
(genetics) Relating to ploidy.
n
such an organism or chromosome
n
The condition of being polysomic.
adj
Alternative form of pseudoautosomal [(genetics) Describing genes in the X- and Y- chromosomes that behave like autosomes during meiosis]
n
A revertant cell or organism
n
(genetics) The pairing of chromosomes in meiosis.
adj
(genetics) Converted to tetraploidy by tetraploidization
adj
(genetics) That has resulted from three paralogous diversions from a common ancestor
n
A form of chromosomal variation characterized by the presence of an extra X chromosome in each cell of a human female, sometimes leading to tall stature, learning disabilities, and/or epicanthic folds.
adj
(genetics) Of, pertaining to, or based upon a single chromosome
n
(genetics) A cell containing DNA of two unrelated species
adj
Having an aneuploidy in the configuration of chromosomes by having an extra Y chromosome.
n
(genetics) Alternative spelling of Y chromosome [(genetics) A mammalian sex chromosome, occurring only in male cells. Cells of females have a pair of X chromosomes while cells of males have an X and a Y.]
