Solution
The correct answers are:
- Diploid cell
- Body cell
- Somatic cell
Explanation:
A human cell containing two sets of chromosomes (2n) is referred to as a diploid cell. This is the typical state of most cells in the human body, excluding the sex cells (sperm and egg), which are haploid (n) and contain only one set of chromosomes.
Body cells and somatic cells are other terms for the non-sex cells in the body, which are also diploid.
Gametes (sex cells) and haploid cells are not correct answers because they contain only one set of chromosomes.
