Detailed explanation-1: -Diploid is a term that refers to the presence of two complete sets of chromosomes in an organism’s cells, with each parent contributing a chromosome to each pair. Humans are diploid, and most of the body’s cells contain 23 chromosomes pairs.

Detailed explanation-2: -Examples of diploid cells include blood cells, skin cells and muscle cells. These cells are known as somatic cells.

Detailed explanation-3: -Definition. A cell containing two copies of each chromosome is referred to as a ‘diploid cell’; human somatic cells are diploid: they contain 46 chromosomes, 22 pairs of autosomes and a pair of sex chromosomes.

Detailed explanation-4: -Haploid refers to the presence of a single set of chromosomes in an organism’s cells. Sexually reproducing organisms are diploid (having two sets of chromosomes, one from each parent).

Detailed explanation-5: -Examples of diploid cells in humans include: Muscle cells. Skin cells. Blood cells.
