diploid
\dip"loid\ (d[i^]p"loid), a. [Gr. diplo`os twofold +
-oid.] (Biol.)
having a number of chromosomes corresponding to two copies of
each chromosome; having double the basic number of
chromosomes, as seen in a haploid cell. Contrasted to
haploid and
polyploid.
Note: in diploid cells, although the number of chromosomes is
double that in haploid cells, it is not always true
that there are two copies of every chromosome, since
the two sex chromosomes in males will differ from each
other. In females, and for other chromosomes, however,
there are generally two copies of each, giving rise to
the classical hereditary and sorting patterns of
Mendelian genetics.
