What is diploids?
diploid is a term which is used to describe a cell which contains two complete sets of chromosomes.Most mammals including humans,have primary diploid cells.The umbrella term "…ploidy" is used to refer generically to the number of sets of chromosomes in a cell and animals can exhibit awide variety of forms ploidy.A haploid cell for instance , has only one set of chromosomes, while a fetraploid cell has four.

What does diploid to diploid mean?
Diploid to diploid, commonly referred to as 2N to 2N describes the number of chromosomes transfered via mitosis. This means that the duplicated cell (daughter cell) will have… the same number of chromosomes as the parent cell. A process that would go 2N to N (diploid to haploid) would be meiosis. (MORE)

What is haploid and diploid?
Haploid and diploid are terms which refer to the number of copies of a chromosome that are found in the genome of an organism. In humans, for example, there are two copies of… each (of our 23) chromosomes. Thus, we are diploid. If there is only one copy of a chromosome, this is called haploid. Human sex cells as well as most plant sex cells (sperm/ pollen, ovum/ oval) are haploid. This is how you end up with a complement of chromosomes that is half your father's, half your mother's. Two haploid cells come together to form a diploid cell, and this cell eventually becomes a person. Diploid is a full set of chromosomes inherited from both parents. In humans this would be 46 chromosomes, or 23 pairs in, mostly, somatic cells. Haploid is half this number of chromosomes and is the result of meiosis, where as diploid is the result of normal cellular mitosis (as well as the result of fertilization). In genetic notation haploid is depicted with "n" and diploid "2n" (MORE)

How do you maintain diploid?
You will always be diploid. All human somatic cells are diploid while sex cells are haploid(or half of a diploid cell). Haploid cells vary based on which chromatids are in the… cell. A chromatid is half of a chromosome. sleepingdogstudios.com (MORE)
