What are daploids?

Diploids are organisms or cells that contain two complete sets of chromosomes, one inherited from each parent. In humans, for example, diploid cells typically have 46 chromosomes, arranged in 23 pairs. This diploid state is crucial for sexual reproduction, as it allows for genetic diversity through the combination of parental genes during fertilization. Diploidy is a common characteristic in many eukaryotic organisms, including plants and animals.
