Solution
Diploid cells:
The term diploid refers to an entity's number of chromosomes.
A diploid cell is one that has two complete sets of chromosomes.
Diploid cells have paired chromosomes that come from both biological parents.
Mitosis does produce diploid cells provided the parent cell is also diploid.
Mitosis produces two cells that are genetically and morphologically identical.
