A diploid cell is a cell that contains two copies of each chromosome: one from a maternal source and the other is paternal. This occurs in the process of mitosis or the cell division (also called reproduction) of body cells (any cell except the gametes). Diploid cells and the process of mitosis are responsible for growth, cell replacement, and cell/tissue repair.
Gametes are haploid cells because they only contain half of the chromosomes of a diploid cell. For example, a human somatic (diploid) cell contains 46 chromosomes. Therefore, a haploid cell contains 23 chromosomes.
Somatic cells are all the cells in your body besides for your gametes (sex cells) their diploid because you receive two sets of chromosmoes one from your father and one from you mother. diploid means theres two chromosomes for one gene
A haploid cell contains one set of chromosomes, while a diploid cell contains two sets. Haploid cells are produced by meiosis and are typically reproductive cells (sperm and egg). Diploid cells are the typical somatic cells in the body and contain genetic material from both parents.
Short Answer is: twice the number of Chromosomes as found in the gametic [Haploid] Cells.
A cell such as a somatic cell that contains two sets of chromosomes is said to be a diploid.
Somatic cells are diploid, meaning they have two sets of chromosomes.
The diploid cell type is the somatic cell. Gametes, such as ovum, are haploid cells that are produced by the process of meiosis from diploid germ cells.
Unlike the haploid cell which consists of one chromosome, the somatic (diploid) cell contains two chromosomes (one from the mother and one from the father)
somatic cells
A diploid cell is a cell that contains two copies of each chromosome: one from a maternal source and the other is paternal. This occurs in the process of mitosis or the cell division (also called reproduction) of body cells (any cell except the gametes). Diploid cells and the process of mitosis are responsible for growth, cell replacement, and cell/tissue repair.
All of the cells in a human body, including the stomach are diploid. There is one cell that is not diploid and that is the sex cell. It is haploid.
Somatic cells
Diploid cells have two sets of chromosomes, and are body (somatic) cells.
Gametes are haploid cells because they only contain half of the chromosomes of a diploid cell. For example, a human somatic (diploid) cell contains 46 chromosomes. Therefore, a haploid cell contains 23 chromosomes.

Gametes, such as eggs and sperm, are haploid, not diploid. Diploid would be somatic cells, such as skin cells or brain cells.
