Haploid and diploid are terms referring to the number of sets of chromosomes in a cell. Gregor Mendel determined his peas had two sets of alleles, one from each parent. Diploid organisms are those with two (di) sets. Human beings (except for their gametes), most animals and many plants are diploid.
Asia's third Disneyland park to open in Spring 2016. Charles Liu, June 26, 2015 10:44am (updated). Move over, Lujiazui. Shanghai Disneylandâs centerpiece castle was topped off yesterday as the park gears up for its opening day next spring. The top spire of the Enchanted Storybook Castle was fitted with a golden finial topped with a China-inspired peony flower ornament.
Cinderella Castle was completed in July 1971, after about 18 months of construction. The castle is 189 feet (58 m) tall, as measured from the concrete bottom of the body of water, which itself is 6 feet (1.8 m) deep at the bridge. Cinderella Castle is more than 100 feet (30 m) taller than Sleeping Beauty Castle at Disneyland in Anaheim, California. An optical trick known as forced perspective makes the castle appear even larger than it actually is. As it becomes taller, its proportions get smaller.
