Answer 1

Based on your description of the illustration, it mentions that the nucleus has two pairs of chromosomes. Each pair indicates that the cell has homologous chromosomes, characteristic of diploid cells, which have two complete sets of chromosomes (one from each parent).

Therefore, the type of cell shown in the figure is a diploid cell.
