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.

What is mitosis How many new cells are formed and how many chromosomes are in each newly formed cell?
Mitosis is a kind of cell division, where a parent cell splits into two identical daughter cells. Two cells are created during mitosis, but the original cell no longer exists so the total number will go up by one (or, if you're looking at multiple cells, the total number will double). The new cells have the same number of chromosomes as the original cell before it divided.
The number of chromosomes in a sex cell of an organism is what kind of chromosome?
A sex cell is haploid, having one set of chromosomes, which is half of the number of chromosomes as in a body cell.
What do you call a cell with one of each kind of chromosme?
This is sex sells (gametes, sperm and egg).They have haploid number of chromosomes and used for sexual reproduction
What Kind of cell contains ribosomes a cell wall a cell membrane and chloroplasts?
plant cell
What kind of cell is formed when chromosomes from a sperm call and an egg cell combine?
A diploid cell called a zygote is formed with a sperm and egg fuse.
