Haploid cells are denoted n, and diploid cells are denoted 2n.

"n" refers to the set of chromosomes - therefore haploid cells have one set of chromosomes and diploid cells have two sets (pairs of chromosomes). Haploid cells have half the number of chromosomes as diploid cells.

A human reproductive cell or sex cell (sperm/egg) are haploid and has only one of each of the 23 chromosomes.


The union of two reproductive cells with the haploid number of chromsomes results in a diploid zygote.


Haploid cells are symbolized by the alphabet "n" that refers to the number of chromosomes that is present in a reproductive cell.
