Answer: The correct answer is diploid cells contain two chromosomes while haploid cells contain one.

Explanation:

Ploidy is defined as the area of biology which gives us the number of chromosomes that are present in a cell.

There are two types of cells:

Diploid cells: These cells are defined as the cells which have two complete sets of chromosomes inside the cells.
Haploid cells: These cells are defined as the cells which have only one set of chromosomes inside the cell.

Hence, the correct answer is diploid cells contain two chromosomes while haploid cells contain one.
