Gametes are reproductive cells produced by a type of cell division called meiosis. They contain only one set of chromosomes and are said to be haploid.
Haloid cells
What contains only a single set of chomosomes?
The physical map of the array of chromosomes is called a karyotype. If a eukaryotic cell has a single set of chromosomes it is called a haploid.
Diploid: term used to refer to a cell that contains both sets of homologous chromosomes.Haploid: term used to refer to a cell that contains only a single set of chromosomes and therefore only a single set of genes.
A human sperm cell has one set of the father's chromosomes in its nucleus. These of course will combine with the mother's chromosomes if the sperm fertilizes an egg. There are also organelles which provide the sperm cell with the energy it needs for its journey.
it is haploid
After fertilization, the new cell contains one set of chromosomes from each parent.
Haloid cells
A cell such as a somatic cell that contains two sets of chromosomes is said to be a diploid.

What contains only a single set of chomosomes?
A mature sexual reproductive cell having a single set of unpaired chromosomes is a gamete. A haploid is an organism or cell having only one complete set of chromosomes.
A single complete set of chromosomes is called a haploid set of chromosomes. It is generally represented by the letter N. In humans for example, there are a total of 46 chromosomes per somatic cell. Since there are two copies of each chromosome. the 2N number for human is 46 and N = 23.
The physical map of the array of chromosomes is called a karyotype. If a eukaryotic cell has a single set of chromosomes it is called a haploid.

i think you are thinking of a haploid cell. it is called this because it doesnt have a full set of chromosomes.
A human sperm cell has one set of the father's chromosomes in its nucleus. These of course will combine with the mother's chromosomes if the sperm fertilizes an egg. There are also organelles which provide the sperm cell with the energy it needs for its journey.
