GinnyAnswer

Final answer:

Diploid species inherit one copy of each chromosome from each parent, passing genetic information to their offspring through haploid gametes.


Explanation:

Diploid species have two copies of each chromosome, known as homologous chromosomes. This indicates that they inherit one copy of each chromosome from each parent, forming a full set of chromosomes. During reproduction, diploid organisms pass along genetic information to their offspring through haploid gametes containing one copy of each chromosome.
