A diploid cell is a cell that contains two complete sets of chromosomes, one from each parent.
congrats on reading the definition of Diploid Cell. now let's actually learn it.
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.
This is what you get when two gametes (haploids) combine during fertilization. It's diploid because it has both parents' sets of chromosomes.
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!
