No. Haploid is a term used to describe the genetic makeup of an animal with only one set of sister chromosomes. Humans are diploid organisms, which means they have 46 chromosomes, two sets of 23 (one from mother, on from father). Plants (and fungi) however, have a different developmental pathway which in certain organisms can result in only one set of chromosomes, or haploid. The huge diversity of plants include haploid, diploid, and polyploid (many copies of each chromosome) species.

The only plants that are haploid are the mosses. While they are diploid during reproduction within the cell, they spend the majority of their time as a haploid entity.

Gametes are haploid. This is so that when two gametes fuse during sexual reproduction, the resulting organism ends up with the correct number of chromosomes.

Where does the process of double fertilization occur in plants?

The Generative nucleus arrives at the embryo sac inside the ovule and undergoes division to produce two haploid male nuclei. One of the male nuclei fuses with the haploid female gamete nucleus and for a diploid zygote. The other Male nuclei fuses with 2 polar female gametes to produce the triploid nucleus. This is known as the endosperm nucleus and it acts as a food source for developing zygote.

What term describes cells that contain only a single set of chromosomes?

It is called haploid.The term can be applied to a number, a nucleus, a cell, or even an entire organism, such as a male honey bee.Strictly speaking, the correct term for the number of chromosomes in one set is monoploid. "Haploid" refers to the number of chromosomes in a gamete.In many animals, including humans, the two numbers are the same. In many plants there have been one or more doubling events during the course of evolution, resulting in tetraploids and so on. In such plants "monoploid" applies to the number of chromosomes in the inferred original set.
