B?th ??ll?n and ovules are kn?wn ?? g?m?t??, ?nd th? transmitted units d?t?rm?n?ng th? expression ?f a ?h?r??t?r ?r? kn?wn as g?n??. Ind?v?du?l plants have tw? ?d?nt???l ??t? ?f g?n??

In Cannabis, th? h??l??d (in) numb?r of chromosomes ?? 10 ?nd th? diploid (2n) numb?r ?f chromosomes ?? 20. Each chromosome contains hundreds ?f g?n??, ?nflu?n??ng ?v?r? ?h??? of the growth and development ?f the ?l?nt.
