The answer is diploid. Diploid cell is a cell that contain two copies of each chromosomes. Nearly all the cells in the human body carry two homologous or similar copies of each chromosome. However the cells in the germ line, which produce gametes, or egg and sperm cells are haploid. Haploid cells contain contain a single set of chromosomes. In diploid cells one set of chromosomes is inherited from the mother, while the other is inherited from the father.
