Plants and most muticellular protists
Diploid and haploid cells do not have alternation of generations; this phenomenon occurs in multicellular organisms with a life cycle that alternates between haploid and diploid stages. Mutations can occur in both diploid and haploid cells, but they are more likely to have an impact in diploid cells due to their higher genetic complexity.
a haploid gametophyte stage and a diploid sporophyte stage..
Prokaryotes are haploid organisms.
The cells of a fern plant that you see are diploid. Ferns have a lifecycle which alternates between a diploid sporophyte generation and a haploid gametophyte generation. The visible fern plant is the diploid sporophyte generation.
Diploid organisms contain the genetic material in two copies for a gene. Haploid organisms contain only single copy of every gene.
In moss, the green leafy stuff is haploid. Mosses have a life cycle that alternates between a haploid gametophyte stage (the leafy green structure) and a diploid sporophyte stage.
As simply as possibly, the difference in genetic mapping between haploid and diplois organisms are the genes. The haploid organism has only one allele which is either dominant or recessive, while the diploid organism has two alleles of which one is dominant and the other recessive.

Haploid refers to having only one set of chromosomes, while diploid refers to having two sets of chromosomes. Body cells are diploid, while sex cells are haploid. In humans, diploid cells have two sets of 23 chromosomes for a total of 46, and haploid cells have one set of 23 chromosomes.
