Diploid cells are represented by this abbreviation:
A
2n
B
n
C
4n
D
1/2 n
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The total number of chromosomes in diploid cells is described as 2n, which is twice the number of chromosomes in a haploid cell (n).

Detailed explanation-2: -Chromosome: It is a thread-like structure composed of protein and a single molecule of DNA that transports genetic information from cell to cell. The term 2n: Denotes the diploid condition. It denotes that the cell has two sets of chromosomes. Human 46 chromosomes, for example, exhibit the 2n condition.

Detailed explanation-3: -Diploid cells in Human body Humans are diploid (2n), hence each human has two copies of chromosomes in the nucleus of their cells. This is to say that there are two copies of chromosome 1, two copies of chromosome 2, two copies of chromosome 3 and so on.

Detailed explanation-4: -A cell with two sets of chromosomes is diploid, referred to as 2n, where n is the number of sets of chromosomes. Most of the cells in a human body are diploid. A cell with one set of chromosomes, such as a gamete, is haploid, referred to as n. Sex cells are haploid.
