cell or organism that contains one set of chromosomes - having the number of chromosomes present in the normal germ cell equal to half the number in the normal somatic cell [CUB]
Having one set of single chromosomes Reproductive cells, like eggs and sperm, are haploid
The normal number of chromosomes present in an egg or sperm In humans, the haploid number of chromosomes is 23
Genetic material consisting of a single chromosome set (half of the diploid number) Egg and sperm cells of animals and egg and pollen cells of plants are haploid
referring to one member of each pair of homologous chromosomes and hence only one copy of each gene
(genetics) an organism or cell having only one complete set of chromosomes of a cell or organism having a single set of chromosomes
A single set of chromosomes (half the full set of genetic material) present in the egg and sperm cells of animals and in the egg and pollen cells of plants Human beings have 23 chromosomes in their reproductive cells See also: diploid
Having a single set of chromosomes in the nucleus of each cell Mosses, and many protists and fungi, are haploid
A sexual gamete, or a plant having a chromosomal set from only one parent, ie, with half the normal diploid chromosome number
A single set of chromosomes, half the genetic material's full set, present in egg and sperm cells
A single set of chromosomes (half the full set of genetic material), present in the egg and sperm cells of animals and in the egg and pollen cells of plants Human beings have 23 chromosomes in their reproductive cells Compare diploid
