Detailed explanation-1: -Haploid cells contain only one set of Chromosomes (n). Diploid, as the name indicates, contains two sets of chromosomes (2n). Haploid cells are formed by the process of meiosis. Diploid cells undergo mitosis. In the higher organism, such as humans, haploid cells are only used for sex cells.

Detailed explanation-2: -Every cell in the human body contains 23 pairs of such chromosomes; our diploid number is therefore 46, our ‘haploid’ number 23.

Detailed explanation-3: -Diploid refers to the number of complete chromosome sets present in each cell of an organism: diploid cells contain two complete sets. Haploid organisms, on the other hand, only contain one complete chromosome set. Chromosome sets can be altered in meiosis, and occasionally in mitosis.

Detailed explanation-4: -Haploid describes a cell that contains a single set of chromosomes. The term haploid can also refer to the number of chromosomes in egg or sperm cells, which are also called gametes. In humans, gametes are haploid cells that contain 23 chromosomes, each of which a one of a chromosome pair that exists in diplod cells.

Detailed explanation-5: -The total number of chromosomes in diploid cells is described as 2n, which is twice the number of chromosomes in a haploid cell (n).
