Haploid

Haploid cells are nucleated cells in which only one set of chromosomes is present (hence the name of such cells), i.e., exactly as many as are necessary for the development of a given cell (i.e., as a rule, one). This class of nucleated cells differs from diploid cells in the absence of one homologous set of chromosomes. There are male and female haploid forms. The characteristics of haploid cells can be determined at different levels of organization of a living organism. In the plant kingdom, haploids carry the sign of heterozygosity (diploids carry the sign of homozygosity), which manifests itself in the absence of dominant characters. The haploids of some bacteria are associated with the process

The concept of haploid is one of the most common genetic terminologies found in gene science and molecular biology. Translated from Greek, this term means “single,” which indicates the absence of a second identical chromosome set in the cell. The value of the number of chromosomes and its classification are the problems that are solved by the science of genetics and the nature of heredity. Important
