The term is diploid.
Haploid cell is just a term meaning a cell has only one set of chromosomes. Diploid is a term used for an organism or cell having double the basic haploid number of chromosomes.

To find the total number of chromosomes in an organism, you would multiply the haploid number by 2. This is because the haploid number represents half of the total number of chromosomes in a cell. So, total number of chromosomes = haploid number x 2.
The chromosomes are double (diploid) at the beginning of meiosis. By the end of meiosis I, the chromosomes are single (haploid).
27. To get the haploid number from the diploid number you halve it. To get the diploid number from the haploid number you double it.
The diploid number is "2n" and the haploid number is "n". Humans have 46 chromosomes, which are equal to the diploid number. half of these chromosomes are the haploid number, which is = 23.
Haploid genomes contain a single copy of each chromosome while diploid genomes have two homologous copies. Usually organisms with a diploid genome inherit one chromosome of the pair from each parent. Double haploid occurs by doubling of the haploid genome resulting in pairs of chromosomes that are identical, so homozygous at each locus. This can be created artifically by using colchicine, which prevents microtubule polymerisation and therefore chromosome separation at meiosis where the chromosome number would be halved. This procedure is useful during plant breeding because of the homozygous plants produced.
