A set of chromosomes that contains only one member of each chromosome pair. The sperm and egg are haploid and, in humans, each has 23 chromosomes.

Cell that contains only one set of chromosomes. Also see diploid.

monoploid State in which a cell contains only one set of chromosomes.

The term for a cell with only one set of chromosomes

"having a single set of unpaired chromosomes," 1908, from German haploid (Strasburger, 1905), from Greek haploos "single, simple" (see haplo-) + -ploid, from comb. form of ploos &q [..]

Haploid is the quality of a cell or organism having a single set of chromosomes. Organisms that reproduce asexually are haploid. Sexually reproducing organisms are diploid (having two sets of chromosomes, one from each parent). In humans, only their egg and sperm cells are haploid.

The chromosome number equal to one complete set of the genetic endowment of a eukaryotic organism. 8 Animation, 8 Problem

Having a single set of chromosomes in the nucleus of each cell. Mosses, and many protists and fungi, are haploid, as are some insects, bryophytes, and the gametes of all organisms. Contrast with diplo [..]

Having the gametic number of chromosomes, or half the number characteristic of somatic (nonreproductive) cells.

Having only one chromosome

Having one set of unpaired chromosomes.

a cell that contains only one set of chromosomes. Example: gametes (sex cells). By contrast, most of the cells that make up the body are diploid: they contain chromosomes from both biological parents.

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.

The reduced, or N, number of chromosomes, typical of gametes, as opposed to the diploid, or 2N, number found in somatic cells. In certain groups, mature organisms may have a haploid number of chromosomes. haploid cell

having a single set of chromosomes in the nucleus. cf. diploid, polyploid.

Having a single set of chromosomes (monoploid).

(Gk: haplous= single; eidos=form) haploid organisms have a single set of chromosomes. See diploid.

The condition of having only one set of genes or chromosomes. In normally diploid organisms such as humans, only the gametes

set of chromosomes

(one) or diploid

having a single complement of chromosomes. See diploid

Carrying one copy of each chromosome.

In organisms normally possessing paired sets of chromosomes, “haploid” cells possess only a single set of unpaired chromosomes

  A cell or organism containing the set of chromosomes normally found in gametes.

The condition of having only one set of genes or chromosomes. In normally diploid organisms such as humans, only the gametes are haploid.

(French : haploïde) 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 chr [..]

term used to describe a cell that contains only half the number of chromosomes as a diploid cell

A cell containing a single set of unpaired chromosomes.

A cell with one set of chromosomes. In humans, the egg and sperm cells are haploid cells and have only 23 chromosomes. Once they join during fertilization, the resulting cell will be diploid with 46 c [..]

(n) (genetics) an organism or cell having only one complete set of chromosomes(adj) of a cell or organism having a single set of chromosomes

Referring to an organism or cell having only one member of each pair of homologous chromosomes and hence only one copy (allele) of each gene or genetic locus. Gametes and bacterial cells are haploid. [..]

The chromosomal constitution of Cells, in which each type of Chromosome is represented once. Symbol: N.

Having only a single set of chromosomes, half the number in a normal somatic cell. Gametes are normally haploid.

Having a single set (1n) of unpaired chromosomes as is found in gametes. Follow the production of gametes in the Interactive Meiosis Animation.

A haploid cell is one that has a single copy of its genetic information. For example, sperm and egg cells are haploid.

having half the chromosome complement of normal cells. Gametes are haploid.

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.

Having one set of unpaired chromosomes.

Of a cell or organism, possessing a single chromosome complement, hence a single gene copy at each locus.

Having the chromosome number normally found in a gamete.

describes a cell, nucleus, or organism that has only one set of unpaired chromosomes
