Detailed Solution

In the cells shown by the student to his teacher there is no formation of cell plate and thus the cell is containing more number of chromosomes as compared to other dividing cells. The best suitable answer for this question would be polyploidy but in reality when cell plate formation or cytokinesis is absent it leads to binucleate condition. Polyploidy s presence of more than two genomes in the nuclei of a given cell. In this case each cell is having only diploid number of chromosomes. Hence the cell is diploid though dikaryotic.
