In the context of atomic structure, what does the term 'diploid' refer to?
A
An atom with two protons
B
A molecule with two identical atoms
C
An atom with two electrons
D
A cell with two sets of chromosomes
Verified step by step guidance1
The term 'diploid' is not typically used in the context of atomic structure. Instead, it is a term from biology.
In biology, 'diploid' refers to a cell that contains two complete sets of chromosomes, one from each parent.
In the context of atomic structure, terms like 'protons', 'electrons', and 'molecules' are more relevant.
A diploid cell is contrasted with a haploid cell, which contains only one set of chromosomes.
Therefore, the term 'diploid' is not applicable to atomic structure but is relevant in the study of genetics and cell biology.
