Ploidy refers to the numbers of sets of chromosomes in an organism. IAn organism could be haploid (having one set of chromosome), diploid (having 2 sets of chromosome ), triploid (having 3 sets of chromosome) and so on. Ploidy level of different animal phylums is as follows:
Porifera: Diploid
Cnidaria: Diploid
Platyhelminthes: Diploid or triploid
Rotifera: Diploid
Nematoda: Diploid
Annelida: Diploid
Arthropoda: Diploid
Mollusca: Diploid
Echinodermata: Diploid
Chordata: Diploid
The gametes produced by all diploid organisms are haploid in nature.
