Definition: Diploid means having two complete sets of chromosomes in each cell, one set from each parent (denoted 2n).
Examples:
- Human somatic cells are diploid, with 46 chromosomes (2n = 46).
- Many plant body cells (e.g., oak leaf cells) are diploid, carrying two sets of chromosomes.
Sentence using it: Because humans are diploid, they inherit one chromosome set from their mother and one from their father.
