The gametes (sperm and unfertilized egg, or ovum).
In humans, body cells are diploid. To form gametes, specialized cells in the gonads (primary spermatocytes in males, and primary oocytes in females) must go through meiosis.
Strictly, there are more than two types of cell that are haploid. The cells formed by meiosis I are haploid, and these are (in males) secondary spermatocytes, and (in females) secondary oocytes. These divide (meiosis II) to form more haploid cells that differentiate into the gametes.
The secondary spermatocytes, secondary oocytes, and gametes are the only haploid cells in humans. In other organisms, it can be quite another story!

In humans what cells are diploid?
All body or somatic cells are diploid. Only sex cells are haploid.
The only haploid cells found in humans are?
Reproductive cells or sex cells of an organism contain haploid number of chromosomes. All other body cells (or somatic cells) contain diploid number of chromosomes
What is the product of meiosis I?
Two haploid cells
What process of cell division creates diploid cells and what process creates haploid cells?
Mitosis makes diploid cells or stomatic cells which are cells with 2 haploid sets of chromosomes. These are your normal body cells. every cell in you body besides the gametes are diploid and have 46 chromosomes. Meiosis makes haploid cells which only have 23 chromosomes or one set of chromosomes. Haploid cells are your gametes or reproductive cells and meiosis only happens in your gonads or reproductive organ.
Which cells of an animal are diploid and which are haploid?
The cells that have all the homologous chromosomes that are characteristic of the species are referred to as diploid. Cells that have only one chromosome from each of the 23 chromosome pairs in body cells are referred to as haploid cells.
Where in the body are haploid cells not found?
Haploid cells are not found in any part of the body except the ovaries or testes.
How is the haploid chromosome number?
The haploid chromosome number is half the chromosome number of the body cells. For example, in humans, body cells have 46 chromosomes. In human haploid cells (sex cells), there are 23 chromosomes.
Are any of your body cells haploid?
no
What are haploid and diploid cells?
Somatic (body) cells are diploid. Sex cells (gametes) are haploid.
Are most of the cells in the human body called haploid or diploid?
All cells in the human body that are not gametes (sperm or egg cells) are diploid. Gametes are haploid.
What is the difference between haploid diploid and zygote?
There are two types of cells in the body - haploid cells and diploid cells. The difference between haploid and diploid cells is related to the number of chromosomes that the cell contains.
In humans what cells are diploid?
All body or somatic cells are diploid. Only sex cells are haploid.
How do haploid cells differ from diploid cells?
Haploid cells only have half the necessary amount of DNA (sex cells). Diploid cells have a full set of DNA (body cells).
Where in the body are haploid and diploid cells found?
cell
Are the cells in a body diploid or haploid?
both cuz our body's are weird
How many cells are in the body cells of an organism that has a haploid number of 8?
16
Are stomach cells haploid or diploid?
Stomach cells are normal body cells and are therefore diploid.
