Question

Define haploid

Solution

A haploid is a cell or organism that has a single set of chromosomes that are not paired. The haploid gamete is normally produced during plant cell division. During fertilization, these cells normally merge with other similar haploid cells. A haploid cell only has half the number of chromosomes as are present in diploids.
