A cell such as a somatic cell that contains two sets of chromosomes is said to be diploid.

Here's why:

* Diploid: Means "having two sets". Somatic cells, which are all the cells in your body except for sex cells, contain two sets of chromosomes. One set comes from the mother and the other set comes from the father.

* Haploid: Means "having one set". Sex cells (sperm and egg) are haploid.
