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: -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: -The cells that enter meiosis II are the ones made in meiosis I. These cells are haploid-have just one chromosome from each homologue pair-but their chromosomes still consist of two sister chromatids.

Detailed explanation-4: -In a broad sense, all viruses and prokaryotic organisms are haploid. They often possess a single RNA or DNA molecule as their genome. In single-celled eukaryotic organisms such as yeast, the genome usually comprises several DNA molecules that are compacted with proteins into individual chromosomes.

Detailed explanation-5: -Definition. Containing one copy of each chromosome. Human gametes (egg and sperm cells) are haploid, containing 22 autosomes and one sex chromosome.
