homologous chromosomes separate.
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.

Haploid
No. Haploid cells/nuclei can only be created in meiosis.
Haploid cells contain one copy of each chromosome. This means they have half the number of chromosomes as diploid cells, which have two copies of each chromosome.

They are cells that have half the chromosome number of the parent.

A haploid germ cell has the same number of chromosome sets as a gamete, which is half the number of chromosome sets found in a somatic cell. This enables the gametes to fuse during fertilization to restore the diploid number of chromosomes in the zygote.
Haploid cells contain one copy of each chromosome. This means they have half the number of chromosomes as diploid cells, which have two copies of each chromosome.
Humans have a diploid count (2n) of 46 chromosomes. Knowing this, it is easy to figure out what the haploid count is by halfing 46. Therefore, the haploid number of chromosome (n) is 23 chromosomes.
Fertilization restores the diploid number by combining one haploid gamete from the mother with one haploid gamete from the father to form a zygote with the full diploid set of chromosomes. In an organism with a haploid chromosome number of 8, each spermatogonium would have 16 chromosomes because they are diploid cells that undergo mitosis to produce sperm cells with the haploid number.

A diploid cell contains two sets of chromosomes, one from each parent, while a haploid cell contains only one set of chromosomes. In humans, a diploid cell has 46 chromosomes (23 pairs), whereas a haploid cell has 23 chromosomes.
