The somatic cells in a wheat plant have six sets of 7 chromosomes: three sets from the egg and three sets from the sperm which fused to form the plant, giving a total of 42 chromosomes. As a formula, for wheat 2 n = 6 x = 42, so that the haploid number n is 21 and the monoploid number x is 7.

'Neeps' are better known as swedes, the traditional Scottish accompaniment to haggis.his may be deverting from the trational neeps and tatties, but I also add carrots into the combo. Seems like an awful lot of work to make a simple veg mash. I just peel the swede and cut in to small chunks and combine with the unpeeled potatoes which have been cut into a little larger pieces (as they cook quicker).
