Definition
Having two complete sets of chromosomes, one from each parent. This is the normal chromosome condition for most animal and many plant species.
Etymology
From Greek 'diploos' meaning 'double' and '-oid' meaning 'resembling.' Coined in the early 1900s as scientists began understanding chromosome behavior during reproduction.
Kelly Says
Humans are diploid organisms with 46 chromosomes - 23 from mom and 23 from dad - which is why you might have your father's eyes but your mother's smile! This double set allows for genetic diversity while ensuring essential genes are always present, even if one copy is damaged.
