Detailed explanation-1: -In this simple example, a diploid body cell contains 2n = 2 chromosomes. One chromosome came from mom and one from dad. In humans, 2n = 46, so 23 came from mom, and 23 from dad.

Detailed explanation-2: -Both diploid and haploid cells can undergo mitosis. This makes a lot of sense, because mitosis is essentially like making a photocopy: it creates a perfect reproduction of what you started with. Therefore, if a diploid cell undergoes mitosis, the result is two identical diploid cells (2n
