Which of the following best describes the term 'diploid' in the context of atomic structure?

• A. An atom with two electrons in its outer shell
• B. A cell with two sets of chromosomes
• C. A molecule with two atoms bonded together
• D. An atom with a double positive charge

Answer: (B)

Verified step by step guidance

1. Understand that the term 'diploid' is not typically used in the context of atomic structure, but rather in biology.
2. Recognize that 'diploid' refers to a cell having two complete sets of chromosomes, one from each parent.
3. Identify that the options given are related to atomic or molecular structure, except for the one about chromosomes.
4. Clarify that in atomic structure, terms like 'valence electrons' or 'ionic charge' are more relevant.
5. Conclude that the correct description of 'diploid' is related to cells and chromosomes, not atoms or molecules.
