The gametes (sex cells, i.e. unfertilized eggs or ova, and sperm cells).
In mosquitoes, both male and female adults are diploid.
The phase that has a spindle forming in a haploid cell is meiosis. Meiosis is a type of cell division that produces reproductive cells with half the number of chromosomes as the original cell. During meiosis, a spindle apparatus helps separate the chromosomes into daughter cells.
Zygomycota are typically haploid, meaning they have one set of chromosomes. They undergo sexual reproduction to form a zygospore that contains a diploid nucleus, but this phase is usually short-lived. The majority of their life cycle is spent in the haploid state.
The amoeboid cells are haploid. In the sexual phase of the life cycle, two amoeboid cells fuse to form a zygote. New amoeboid cells are produced by meiosis.
The end result of meiosis phase I is two haploid daughter cells, each containing a unique combination of chromosomes due to crossing over and random assortment of homologous chromosomes. These daughter cells have half the number of chromosomes as the original parent cell.
Algae reproduce sexually through a process called alternation of generations. This involves the alternation between a haploid gametophyte phase, where haploid gametes are produced, and a diploid sporophyte phase, where diploid spores are produced through meiosis. These spores eventually develop into new algae individuals.

Human beings do exhibit an alternation of generations, but the haploid phase is extremely deemphasized while the diploid phase is overwhelmingly dominant. The haploid phase in humans that results from meiosis is restricted to only one cell, either an egg in the female or a sperm in the male. There is never a multicellular haploid structure as there usually are in plants. If such a multicellular haploid structure is required for a true alternation of generations, then humans do not exhibit alternation of generations. The human organism grows by mitosis (the diploid phase) only after fertilization. A plant sporophyte is diploid and it produces spores by meiosis. Humans, like plant sporophytes, are diploid and make haploid gametes by meiosis.
The amoeboid cells are haploid. In the sexual phase of the life cycle, two amoeboid cells fuse to form a zygote. New amoeboid cells are produced by meiosis.
The end result of meiosis phase I is two haploid daughter cells, each containing a unique combination of chromosomes due to crossing over and random assortment of homologous chromosomes. These daughter cells have half the number of chromosomes as the original parent cell.
The diploid phase of the human life cycle begins with fertilization, where a haploid sperm fuses with a haploid egg to form a diploid zygote. This zygote then undergoes multiple rounds of cell division to eventually form a multicellular organism.
Cells in G2 phase have a diploid set of chromosomes, which is twice the number found in gametes (haploid cells). In humans, this means that 46 chromosomes enter G2 phase.
Intercalated diploid phase refers to a stage in the life cycle of certain organisms, like algae or plants, where the diploid phase is embedded within the haploid phase. This means that after fertilization, the zygote undergoes meiosis to form haploid cells, which then immediately undergo mitosis to form a diploid organism, rather than undergoing immediate differentiation into a distinct diploid phase.
Plants have a two-part life cycle, spending part of their life in a diploid phase and part in a haploid phase.

Growth and division of each oocyst produces thousands of active haploid forms called sporozoites. After 8-15 days, the oocyst bursts, releasing sporozoites into the body cavity of the mosquito, from which they travel to and invade the mosquito salivary glands.
