Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -Haploid. A haploid cell has only a single set of chromosomes. Most cells in humans are diploid rather than haploid, meaning they have two copies of each chromosome.

Detailed explanation-3: -Genome: The haploid set of chromosomes in a gamete or microorganism, or in each cell of a multicellular organism. The genotype is the set of genes in our DNA which is responsible for a particular trait.

Detailed explanation-4: -Examples of haploid cells are gametes (male or female germ cells). Examples of diploid cells include blood cells, skin cells and muscle cells. These cells are known as somatic cells.

Detailed explanation-5: -The only exceptions are reproductive (egg and sperm) cells, known as ‘haploid’ cells because they contain a single set of 23 chromosomes.
