The haploid number (n) is the number of chromosomes in a gamete of an individual. This is distinct from the monoploid number (x), which is the number of unique chromosomes in a single complete set. Gametes (sperm, and ova) are haploid cells. The haploid gametes produced by (most) diploid organisms are monoploid, and these can combine to form a diploid zygote. For example, most animals are diploid and produce monoploid gametes.

∙ 9y agoHaploid is a cell that has a single set of unpaired chromosomes. An example of this would be an egg cell and a sperm cell.

What is the term for the haploid form of a plant?
Gametophyte
Gametes are haploid while somatic cells are diploid what is the difference between a haploid cell and a diploid cell?
Haploid cell is just a term meaning a cell has only one set of chromosomes. Diploid is a term used for an organism or cell having double the basic haploid number of chromosomes.
Reproductive cells have 23 chromosomes. Which term describes this structure?
Haploid
What term is used to refer to a cell with only a half set of chromosomes?
Cells which contain half the number of chromosomes (compared to a normal cell) are known as haploid cells. An example of haploid cells is gametes or sex cells.
Which term describes the multicellular haploid form of a protist that shows alternation of generations?
gametophyte

The term is diploid.
What term best describes the cells in the gametophyte stage?
Haploid

Haploid
What do the term diploid and haploid mean?
Diploid: term used to refer to a cell that contains both sets of homologous chromosomes.Haploid: term used to refer to a cell that contains only a single set of chromosomes and therefore only a single set of genes.
