A cell with one kind of chromosome is referred to as a haploid cell. Haploid cells contain a single set of chromosomes, which is typically represented as "n." In humans, for example, haploid cells are found in gametes (sperm and egg cells), which each carry 23 chromosomes, thus allowing for genetic diversity during reproduction when two haploid cells fuse to form a diploid zygote.
A sex cell is haploid, having one set of chromosomes, which is half of the number of chromosomes as in a body cell.
A diploid cell is a cell that contains two copies of each chromosome: one from a maternal source and the other is paternal. This occurs in the process of mitosis or the cell division (also called reproduction) of body cells (any cell except the gametes). Diploid cells and the process of mitosis are responsible for growth, cell replacement, and cell/tissue repair.
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.
For a eukaryotic cell to have only one chromosome it must be a sex cell or a genome in an organism that normally only has 2 chromosomes per cell. I'm not sure if this is exactly what you mean...

If you mean haploid, as in half of each chromosome, or containing only one chromatid from each full chromosome, thenthe cell is called haploid.

A chromosome is DNA in the nucleus of a cell.
Eukaryotic Cells.
A cell with one of each kind of chromosome is called a haploid cell. In humans, haploid cells are typically reproductive cells, such as sperm and egg cells. These cells contain a single set of chromosomes (23 in total for humans) instead of the usual two sets found in most cells (diploid).

In one kind of abnormal chromosome inheritance called Down syndrome, a child has three copies of Chromosome 21!
The chromosome is what makes up your finger.
A somatic cell with two of each type of chromosome has a diploid chromosome number. This means that the cell has a complete set of chromosomes, one from each parent.
A sperm cell or an egg cell.
