2n represents 46 number of chromosomes or 23 pairs of chromosomes

Answer 2

A diploid cell has two of each chromosome, one from each parent. ... If a haploid cell has n chromosomes, a diploid cell has 2n (n represents a number, which is different for every species – in humans, for example, n = 23 and 2n = 46). Both diploid and haploid cells can undergo mitosis.
