Examples of diploid
diploid
The diploid queen has 32 chromosomes and the haploid drones have 16 chromosomes.
From the en.wikipedia.org
Most of the human genome is diploid, containing representation of both parents.
From the sciencedaily.com
Spat availability, both diploid and triploid, is dependent upon winter mortality.

So, in normal diploid organisms, autosomal chromosomes are present in two copies.
From the en.wikipedia.org
This process ultimately leads to the formation of a diploid cell called a zygote.
From the en.wikipedia.org
A diploid cell may also undergo meiosis to produce haploid cells, usually four.
From the en.wikipedia.org
The advantage of diploid, e.g. heterosis, only takes place in diploid life stage.
From the en.wikipedia.org
This way, the organism ends its diploid phase and produces several haploid cells.
From the en.wikipedia.org
A mature animal is diploid and so is, in one sense, equivalent to a sporophyte.

- Of a cell or organism having two sets of chromosomes or twice the haploid number; "diploid somatic cells"
- (diploidy) the condition of being diploid
- Ploidy refers to the number of sets of chromosomes in a biological cell.
- A cell which is diploid; An organism with diploid cells; Of a cell, having a pair of each type of chromosome, one of the pair being derived from the ovum and the other from the spermatozoon. Most somatic cells of higher organisms are diploid
- Having twice the chromosome number normally found in a gamete. Normal zebrafish are diploid, having a chromosome set from the maternal gamete (the egg) and a chromosome set from the paternal gamete (the sperm). See also haploid.
- Having two copies (alleles) of each gene. Most human cells are diploid. Some cells, such as human eggs and sperm, have only one copy of each gene, so those specialized cells are haploid.
- Containing two of each type of chromosome and therefore two alleles for each gene.
- Having the normal number of chromosome pairs for non-reproductive, mammalian cells. The amount of DNA in diploid cells defines the normal DNA content for the species.
- Having two complete genomes; the chromosome condition resulting from syngamy and necessary for meiosis.
