The nucleus of the sperm has got only half set of chromosomes. So it is aptly called as haploid nucleus. The ovum is also haploid. Together they form diploid nucleus. It is obvious that two sets of half chromosomes do not combine to form diploid or two. It's misnomer. But you have to teach like that to stress the importance of half and double set of half chromosomes.
