Based on the description provided, the cell shown in the illustration likely contains two pairs of chromosomes. This indicates that the cell has a diploid number of chromosomes, as diploid cells have two complete sets of chromosomes (one from each parent).
Thus, the type of cell shown in the figure is a diploid cell.
