Number of Chromosomes = 46
After 1 generation = 46 x 2 = 92
After 2 generations = 92 x 2 = 184
After 3 generations = 184 x 2 = 368

Do you mean two diploid cells? Because in human reproduction two cells are needed.. Do you mean if you'd do it in a lab too see what happens, or if this was how human reproduction actually took place?

If you mate two diploid cells, the result would be tetraploid, or 4 sets of chromosomes.if this was meant to be, the cell would most likely stay tetraploid, as the chromosome number tends to stay constant in vertebrates. in real life, it would either kill itself or become a tumor.
