Diploid cell.
Diploid (2n) cells have two copies (homologs) of each chromosome, usually one from the mother and one from the father. The exact number of chromosomes may be one or two different from the 2n number yet the cell may still be classified as diploid. Nearly all mammals are diploid organisms, although all individuals have some small fraction of cells that display polyploidy.

a cell with two of each type of chromoson is a Diploid cell. Diploid referrs to that have "di--or two" of the same chromosome. however, on a test, dont let that logic confuse to when referring to sex chromosomes. only autosomal (or somatic cells) are diploid. gametes, because of meiosis become haploid.
