Fragaria nubicola is a type of wild strawberry plant. It grows naturally in the Himalayas, which are large mountains in Asia. This strawberry is not grown for people to eat or sell, so it has no commercial value.
All strawberry plants have a basic set of 7 chromosomes. These are like tiny instruction manuals inside every cell. Fragaria nubicola is a diploid plant. This means it has two complete sets of these chromosomes, making a total of 14 chromosomes in each cell.

The study of genes is called genomics. Scientists look at the DNA of plants like Fragaria nubicola to understand how they grow and work. They found that this wild strawberry has 14 chromosomes. This number is important because it tells us about the plant's genetic makeup. Being "diploid" means it has two copies of each chromosome. This is common for many living things, including humans!
