A haploid cell only contains 23 chromosomes, whilst a diploid cell contains 23 x 2 chromosomes. When an egg cell (haploid) and a sperm cell (haploid) merge, a diploid cell is formed.
Added:
Called a zygote.
The process of a diploid cell dividing into two diploid cells is called mitosis. During mitosis, the parent cell's DNA is replicated and then separated into two identical sets, one for each daughter cell. This ensures that both resulting cells have the same genetic information as the parent cell.
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.
A diploid cell has two complete sets of chromosomes, one set inherited from each parent. This type of cell contains two copies of each chromosome, one from the mother and one from the father. Diploid cells make up the majority of cells in the human body.
If you are asking about cellular meiosis, one diploid parent cell will ultimately form four haploid daughter cells. The parent cell replicates all of its DNA, splits into two intermediate daughter cells that are diploid, and each of these intermediate daughter cells splits to form two more daughter cells. The end result is four haploid cells.
Diploid gametes are not a product of meiosis. Meiosis is the process by which diploid cells undergo two rounds of division to produce haploid gametes. The haploid gametes then join during fertilization to form a diploid zygote.
Mitosis is the process that produces a diploid cell from two haploid cells. It is defined as a type of cell division that results in two daughter cells each having the same number and kind of chromosomes as the parent nucleus, typical of ordinary tissue growth.
The process of a diploid cell dividing into two diploid cells is called mitosis. During mitosis, the parent cell's DNA is replicated and then separated into two identical sets, one for each daughter cell. This ensures that both resulting cells have the same genetic information as the parent cell.
In Meiosis four diploid daughter cells are produced.
The name of the process where the division of cells forms haploid cells is called meiosis. During meiosis, a single diploid cell undergoes two rounds of division to produce four haploid cells, each with half the number of chromosomes as the original cell.
The fusion of two haploid gametes to form a new diploid cell is called fertilization. Self-fertilization in plants, the fusion of two gametes from the same individual to form a diploid offspring.
Fertilization is the process where two haploid gametes (sperm and egg) fuse to form a diploid zygote. This zygote then develops into a new organism with a full set of chromosomes, thus relating fertilization to the formation of diploid cells.

Mitosis makes diploid cells or stomatic cells which are cells with 2 haploid sets of chromosomes. These are your normal body cells. every cell in you body besides the gametes are diploid and have 46 chromosomes. Meiosis makes haploid cells which only have 23 chromosomes or one set of chromosomes. Haploid cells are your gametes or reproductive cells and meiosis only happens in your gonads or reproductive organ.
Diploid cells have two sets of chromosomes, and are body (somatic) cells.
Somatic cells are diploid, meaning they have two sets of chromosomes.
Stem cells are diploid, meaning they have two sets of chromosomes.
Mitosis makes a diploid cell.It is to be always remembered that mitosis is an equational cell division and it can only take place in diploid cells.
