The DNA of most animals, including humans, is diploid, consisting of two sets of chromosomes.
The vast majority of the world's animals, including humans, have two sets of chromosomes.
The resultant offspring end up with two sets of chromosomes in each of their cells, with half the genetic material coming from each parent.
Human cells are considered diploid because they inherit two sets of chromosomes, 23 from the mother and 23 from the father.
GC: We might never get a perfect $1,000 diploid genome [the six billion base pairs in a human's two sets of chromosomes].
The zygote is endowed with genes from two parents, and thus it is diploid (carrying two sets of chromosomes).
Plant cell nuclei have two sets of chromosomes (diploid, in the sporophyte generation) or one (haploid, in the gametophyte generation).
Animal cell nuclei, except in the gametes (sperm and egg), tend to have two sets of chromosomes (they are diploid).
