In plants we find that they may be triploid of more. No matter how many copies we find the underlying n number is divided by the number of copies that represent the same information. If we have 5-ploid animal with 115 chromosomes that represent still only 23 homologous pairs (same info) then we have an n of 23 (115/5). | In plants we find that they may be triploid of more.
