Diploid is a term for a cell or individual that has cells with two sets of genomes. Each genome in a cell is paired with a homolog based on the length of the chromosome. Diploid cells are formed from the fertilization of haploid gamete cells. Haploid gamete cells fuse so that the chromosomes mix in one cell to form diploid cells. In sexual reproduction gametes produce offspring that carry genetic traits from the fusion of these gametes (commonly known as male gametes and female gametes) The number of haploid cell chromosomes is abbreviated (n), while diploid (2n) because it is a multiple of the basic chromosome set or female gametes. called euploid polyploid. The diploid cells can divide into other diploid cells through the process of mitosis and forming somatic structures. This can occur because the chromosomes replicate before the cell divides. Through mitosis the cell will maintain the set number of chromosomes so that the newly formed cell has the same number of chromosomes as the original cell chromosome.
Diploid cells can produce cells that are haploid by the process of meiosis to form gamete cells. These events continue to occur through the process of reproduction and fertilization to form a continuous cycle if the individual continues to grow and multiply.
DNA is present in the genetic material of all the eukaryotic and prokaryotic organisms.The eukaryotic genome contains DNA wraps around the histone proteins. Multiple distinct chromosomes are present in the eukaryote genome.
The eukaryotic genome are generally linear structure with the two copies of each chromosome. This makes the eukaryotic genome as diploid structure.
Human cells spend most of their time in interphase, where they do not divide. In interphase, a cell may grow, obtain and nutrients and metabolize them, read DNA, etc.
