Ploidy levels refer to the amount of pairs of chromosomes present in a cell. Typically, you'll deal with haploid (N) or diploid (2N) cells. Diploid means that there is 1 pair of each chromosome present. Haploid means that there is only one of each chromosome present.

For example:

The typical cell for many animals is diploid. Humans have 23 types of chromosomes. Since their cells are diploid, they have 46 chromosomes in total (23 x 2 of each).

Gametes (sperm and egg cells) are often haploid, and so they only have 23 chromosomes.

Diploid cells. Diploid refers to the relative number of chromosomes in a cell. There is nothing defined as diploid chromosomes...
