A diploid cell contains two sets of chromosomes.
This ensures that a cell about to divide has two sets of genetic information , one for each daughter cell.
A diploid cell has two sets of chromosomes in it. A sperm is the male cell that carries chromosome for reproduction. When the sperms meets with the egg the chromosomes come together to make a baby and it has the full genetic makeup.
diploid
Mitosis ensure that a new cell is identical to its parents by their copy of the parent's genome in mitosis. Identical genetic information will result in identical cells.
because if that cell dies then it has a back up
2 sets of chromosomes in their vegetative cells and are said to be diploid, both have the same or similar genetic information.
none of the above♥katherinebby' novanet answer
A cell with two copies of each chromosome is called a diploid cell. A cell with one copy is called a haploid cell.

A haploid cell is a cell which contains one set of DNA. Most cells have 2 full sets of DNA. Gametes (found in sex cells: sperm and egg cells) are gametes. It is important that they have only one set of DNA because, when the egg is fertilised, the two gametes fuse together to make a zygote with the full 2 sets of DNA.
DNA replication is important to the growth and development of a multi-cellular organism because it passes on the genetic information. When DNA replicates itself, it produces a new copy of an organisms genetic information.
Both chloroplasts and mitochondria have their own sets of chromosomes composed of DNA.
