Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Haploid means
A
that the daughter cells have a full set of chromosomes like the parent cell
B
that the daughter cells have a half of chromosomes that the parent cell has
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The parent cell undergoes one round of DNA replication followed by two separate cycles of nuclear division. The process results in four daughter cells that are haploid, which means they contain half the number of chromosomes of the diploid parent cell.

Detailed explanation-2: -Gametes are haploid cells. This means they contain only half the number of chromosomes found in other cells of the organism. Gametes are produced by a type of cell division called meiosis.

Detailed explanation-3: -At this point, nuclear division begins, and the parent cell is divided in half, forming 2 daughter cells. Each daughter cell will have half of the original 46 chromosomes, or 23 chromosomes.

Detailed explanation-4: -Anaphase I Chromosomes, each with two chromatids, move to separate poles. Each of the daughter cells is now haploid (23 chromosomes), but each chromosome has two chromatids.

Detailed explanation-5: -Haploid refers to the presence of a single set of chromosomes in an organism’s cells. Sexually reproducing organisms are diploid (having two sets of chromosomes, one from each parent). In humans, only the egg and sperm cells are haploid.
