Answer:
The diploid chromosome number represents two sets of chromosomes, one from each parent, so it is always an even number.
Explanation:
A diploid cell or organism has half its chromosomes from one parent, and the other half from the other parent.
"Two sets of chromosomes" means that every cell will have two chromosomes 1, two chromosomes 2, two chromosomes 3, etc. One comes from the mother and the other comes from the father.
The answer "The number of chromosomes present in a diploid cell doubles for each generation because there are two parents." is incorrect because a diploid cell doesn't normally double its chromosome number in a permanent way.
A special type of cells called germ cells can reduce their chromosome number by half in order to produce haploid gametes with an uneven number of chromosomes. Once two gametes from each parent unite, a zygote is formed with the restored diploid and even chromosome number.
