What type of cells are considered to be haploid? Question 4
A
Muscle Cells
B
Gametes
C
Cardiac Cells
D
Skin Cells
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Haploid cells contain only one set of chromosomes. Gametes or sex cells are the most common type of haploid cells.

Detailed explanation-2: -Definition. 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.

Detailed explanation-3: -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-4: -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-5: -Gametes are haploid cells, and each cell carries only one copy of each chromosome. These reproductive cells are produced through a type of cell division called meiosis.
