A diploid cell is a type of cell that contains two complete sets of chromosomes, one inherited from each parent, resulting in a total of two copies of each chromosome (2n). In humans, for example, diploid cells have 46 chromosomes. Diploid cells are formed through the process of fertilization, where a sperm cell (haploid) merges with an egg cell (haploid) to create a zygote, which then undergoes mitotic divisions to develop into a multicellular organism.
