Answer 1

Hey there !

Answer 2

Haploid means one set of chromosome while diploid means two sets.

Answer 3

So diploid is just double of haploid.

Answer 4

I remember because the prefix of diploid is di- which means 2, and haploid starts with ha which are the same two starting letters as half.
Therefore haploid is half of diploid, and diploid is 2x haploid
