in humans, each cell is diploid except for gametes.

diploid cells undergo mitosis for growth and repair.

plants can be diploid or polyploid depending on their species.

meiosis reduces diploid cells to haploid gametes.

researchers study diploid genetics to understand inheritance.

many fungi exist in a diploid state during part of their life cycle.

diploid organisms can reproduce sexually or asexually.

in diploid cells, alleles can be homozygous or heterozygous.

understanding diploid versus haploid is crucial in genetics.
