Diploid cells (meaning double in Greek) have two copies (homologs) of each chromosome (both sex- and non-sex determining chromosomes), usually one from the mother and one from the father.

A cell containing two sets of chromosomes (2n), one set inherited from each parent.

A diploid cell missing a single chromosome. A cell or individual that is basically diploid but that has only one copy of one particular chromosome type and thus has chromosome number 2n - 1.

zygote Diploid cell produced by the fusion of an egg and sperm; fertilized egg cell.
zygotic meiosis. Meiosis that takes place within the first few divisions after zygote formation; thus all stages in the life cycle other than the zygote are haploid.

A diploid cell formed after a diploid oogonium underwent mitosis. The primary oocyte is arrested in Prophase of Meiosis I. It will complete meiosis to form a haploid primary oocyte and the haploid first polar body.

In meiosis, a diploid cell divides to produce four haploid cells, each with half the original chromosome content. For this reason, meiosis is often called a "reduction division".

It is observed as a dominant mutation on one allele (or deletion of it) resulting in loss-of-function in a diploid cell because of the insufficient amount of the wild-type protein encoded by the normal allele on the other haplotype (see also ...

humans, every chromosome is paired, one inherited from the mother, the other inherited from the father. When an organism produces gametes, the gametes end up with only one of each chromosome per cell. Haploid gametes are produced from diploid cells ...

So the cells are synchronized and they fuse and make a diploid cell. Those hormones also arrest division in G1, so we called this point of control in yeast cells "start," because it was the point in whichcontrol occurred.
