Triploid cells have three copies of every chromosome, which is different from the typical diploid cells found in humans (which have two copies) and tetraploid cells (which have four copies). Euploid cells contain the normal number of chromosomes, while aneuploid cells have an abnormal number (such as trisomy or monosomy).
