In diploid organisms, specialised cells called meiocytes (gamete mother cell) undergo meiosis. At the end of meiosis, only one set of chromosomes gets incorporated into each gamete.

Maize: 20 chromosomes in diploid cells

Apple: 34 chromosomes in diploid cells

Potato: 48 chromosomes in diploid cells

Rice: 24 chromosomes in diploid cells
