A diploid cell is sometimes described as having two identical sets of chromosomes.
This is because for each copy of a chromosome, such as chromosome 7, there is one other copy of the same chromosome.
However, such a pair, known as homologous chromosomes, are not truly identical, as they do not have identical base sequences. At any given locus (point on the chromosome) there will be the same type of information, such as a gene, transcription factor, or repeating sequence. But the exact form (allele) will in many cases be different on the two homologous chromosomes.

What cell has homologous chromosomes?
A somatic cell (body cell) is a cell that would have homologous chromosomes.
What are diploid cells?
Diploid cells are cells which contain 2 sets of chromosomes, which will later be divided into two sets of 23 chromosomes for each daughter cell. The total will come up to be 46 chromosomes. The other type of cell is a haploid. A haploid is a sex cell which contains 23 chromosomes. Later when the sperm enters the egg, or the egg meets the sperm the two sets of DNA (One from the sperm, and the other from the egg) will pair up to make another cell with 46 chromosomes. Different animals have different amounts of chromosomes. I have bases this answer on human cells.
Describe the sets of chromosomes in the two new cells that result from cell division?
If it is mitotic division the sets of chromosomes in each cell will be 2n.
How are haploid and diploid related?
Haploid refers to having only one set of chromosomes, while diploid refers to having two sets of chromosomes. Body cells are diploid, while sex cells are haploid. In humans, diploid cells have two sets of 23 chromosomes for a total of 46, and haploid cells have one set of 23 chromosomes.
What is the term that describes the condition in which a cell contains two sets of homologous chromosomes?
What refers to having two sets of chromosomes?
What type of cell has two sets chromosomes?
Diploid cells have two complete sets of chromosomes. The body cells of animals are all diploid. Human diploid cells contain 46 chromosomes.
Because body cells contain two sets of chromosomes they are?
Diploid

What cell has homologous chromosomes?
A somatic cell (body cell) is a cell that would have homologous chromosomes.
What is the difference between diploid and haploid cells?
Diploid cells contain two complete sets of chromosomes, reproduce by mitosis, and are usually somatic cells. Haploid cells contain one complete set of chromosomes, reproduce by meiosis, and are usually sex cells.
What is the cell wtith double number chroosomes?
Cells which contain two of each chromosome (two sets of chromosomes) are said to be diploid. In most organisms, the body cells are diploid.
Is mitosis a direct cell division?
mitosis occurs in the somatic cells-normal cells of the body and the meiosis occurs in the reproductive cells of the body. as a result, mitosis results in cells containing the same number of sets of chromosomes as in the parent cell, while meiosis results in cells containing half the number of sets of chromosomes as the parent cell. for example, in humans, somatic cells contain two sets of chromosomes, one set from the mother and one from the father. mitosis results in daughter cells containing two sets of chromosomes. germ cells (cells which will become eggs or sperm) also contain two sets of chromosomes, but then undergo meiosis, resulting in daughter cells that contain only one set of chromosomes.
Pea plants usually produce seeds through?

What cell type is a diploid?
Diploid cells have two sets of chromosomes, and are body (somatic) cells.
