A sex cell that has only half ("ha" = half) one set of chromosomes. Once this cell were to join with the other haploid cell (either an egg or sperm, dependant on what the original haploid cell was) and fertilisation was to occur it would then become a diploid cell ("d" = double)

What is the difference between a haploid, diploid, and zygote?
A haploid cell has half the usual number of chromosomes, a diploid cell has the full set, and a zygote is formed when two haploid cells combine to create a diploid cell.

A cell with half the number of chromosomes is called?
A cell with half the number of chromosomes is called a haploid cell. Haploid cells contain one complete set of chromosomes, whereas diploid cells have two complete sets.
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.
