The configuration of two matched sets of chromosomes within a somatic cell is referred to as a diploid configuration.

Explanation:

  1. In most somatic cells (non-reproductive cells) of an organism, chromosomes are present in pairs. Each pair consists of one chromosome from each parent, making them homologous.
  2. This paired arrangement is known as a diploid state, denoted as 2n, where 'n' represents the number of distinct chromosomes.
  3. In humans, for example, the diploid number is 46, meaning there are 23 pairs of homologous chromosomes.

In summary, the configuration of two matched sets of chromosomes within a somatic cell is called a diploid configuration.
