Explanation:

1. Diploid organism is an organism with two sets of chromosomes, with each set contributed by each male and female parent. Chromosomes from the male parent is found side by side with chromosomes from the female parent to form HOMOLOGOUS CHROMOSOME PAIR in a diploid organism. Diploidy is denoted by 2N, where N represents number of one set of chromosomes. Diploid cells include somatic or body cells such as heart and liver cells.

2. Haploid organisms are organisms that contain one set of chromosome, formed as a result of meiotic division of diploid cells. Hence, a haploid cell contains one member of each homologous chromosome pair. Haploidy is denoted by N, meaning number of one set of chromosome. Haploid cells include gametes or sex cells such as sperm and egg cells.
