haploid.
If you mean haploid, as in half of each chromosome, or containing only one chromatid from each full chromosome, thenthe cell is called haploid.

A Gamete.
In organisms that reproduce sexually, their sex cells, or gametes, are haploid. This means they only have one copy of each gene. So gametes are cells that only contain one chromosome for each pair.
A Haploid cell.
Meiosis
A diploid cell contains two sets of chromosomes, one from each parent, while a haploid cell contains only one set of chromosomes. In humans, a diploid cell has 46 chromosomes (23 pairs), whereas a haploid cell has 23 chromosomes.
During anaphase I of meiosis, homologous chromosomes are separated and pulled to opposite poles of the cell. This process results in the reduction of the chromosome number because each daughter cell will receive only one chromosome from each homologous pair, effectively halving the chromosome number compared to the original diploid cell. Consequently, if the original cell has a diploid number of chromosomes, the resulting cells will be haploid.
