NEET BIOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -Haploid: A cell with a single set of chromosomes is referred to as haploid. The number of chromosomes in egg or sperm cells, also known as gametes, is referred to as haploid.

Detailed explanation-3: -Each sperm or egg cell produced contains a complete set of unpaired chromosomes, and is therefore haploid. References: National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI) Glossary of Genetic Terms.

Detailed explanation-4: -A nucleus, cell (usually reproductive) or organism having a single set or copy of unpaired chromosomes.

Detailed explanation-5: -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.
