How many diploids does a German Shepherd have?

German Shepherds, like all mammals, are diploid organisms. This means they have two sets of chromosomes, one from each parent.

However, the question about the *number* of diploids is a bit tricky. "Diploid" refers to the condition of having two sets of chromosomes, not a specific number of them.

Here's what we can say:

* German Shepherds have 39 pairs of chromosomes, making a total of 78 chromosomes.

* They are diploid, meaning they have two copies of each chromosome.

* Each copy of a chromosome is called a diploid.

So, a German Shepherd has 39 diploids, one for each pair of chromosomes.
