Question
what is a haploid cell?
a cell with two sets of chromosomes
a cell with half the number of chromosomes
a genetically identical cell
a body cell
Brief Explanations
A haploid cell is defined as a cell that contains half the number of chromosomes compared to a diploid cell. Diploid cells have two sets of chromosomes. A cell with two sets of chromosomes is diploid. Genetically identical cells are produced by processes like mitosis (in some cases) but that's not the definition of haploid. Body cells (somatic cells) are usually diploid.
