Every cell in the body, other than the sperm and egg cells, is diploid. This means that they all have the whole complement of two sets of 23 chromosomes, totalling 46. The gametes, sex cells, only have one set of 23 chromosomes. This is called haploid. This is so that when one haploid gamete from a female and another haploid gamete from a male fuse, a diploid cell will form and be able to mitotically replicate to produce an individual.

Chromosomes normally occur as homologous pairs in?
Chromosomes normally occur as homologous pairs in a diploid cell. These refers to matching pairs of chromosomes which are found in the cell.
For a mutation to affect evolution it must occur in?
For a mutation to affect evolution it must occur in the dominant allele. This allele is what is passed on.

Is an seedling a diploid?
A seedling is a diploid if it was produced by two parents. If the seedling was produced asexually then it would not be considered a diploid.
