Diploid Cell

Mitosis: This is the process by which a single cell divides into two identical daughter cells, each with the same number of chromosomes as the parent cell.

Zygote: This is what you get when two gametes (haploids) combine during fertilization. It's diploid because it has both parents' sets of chromosomes.

Polyploidy: This refers to cells or organisms containing more than two paired (homologous) sets of chromosomes. It’s like having multiple copies of both mom’s and dad’s recipes!
