The diploid number of the fern and onion plants are

fern: 1010
onion plant: 16

The formula of the diploid is 2N where N represents the haploid number. 

Diploid = 2N ; 

fern:
1010 = 2N
1010/2 = N
 505 = N ; 

onion plant:
16 = 2N
16/2 = N
8 = N

The haploid number for the fern is 505 and the haploid number for the onion plant is 8.

The diploid number for the fern and onion plants are

Fern: 505

Onion plant: 8

What is the haploid number?

The single set of chromosomes represent by n are called haploid number.

The diploid number of fern 2N is 1010

haploid will be

1010 = 2N

[tex]\rm N = \dfrac{1010}{2} =505[/tex]

For onion plant

16 = 2N

[tex]\rm N = \dfrac{16}{2} =8[/tex]

Thus, The haploid number of the fern is 505 and the haploid number of the onion plant is 8.
