The main difference between haploid and diploid cells is the number of chromosome sets found in the nucleus. Ploidy refers to the number of chromosomes in a cell. Therefore, cells with two sets are diploid(2n), and those with one set are haploid(n). Somatic cells are diploid and gametes are haploid. If the chromosome number in somatic cells is 4 then the number of chromosomes in a gamete is 2
