Diploid

Real World Example

Imagine trying to assemble a piece of furniture with two identical instruction manuals. This is similar to how a diploid cell functions because, just like having two manuals, a diploid cell contains two sets of chromosomes, one from each parent. In this analogy, each manual represents a set of chromosomes, providing a complete guide to building the furniture—or in the cell's case, providing the necessary genetic information for the organism's development and function.
