Gunnar Butler · Answer 1

haploid (one set)

Explanation:

In the description, the circle represents the cell and the lines the chromosomes inside the cell. If the 6 lines have different sizes, it is because they represent different chromosomes. In other words, there is a cell with 6 different chromosomes. Since chromosomes do not have a homologous pair (another chromosome of equal size), it means that there is only one set of chromosomes in the cell, that is, is a haploid cell.
