Which cells contain two sets of chromosomes?

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.
