Here's why:
* Haploid refers to the number of chromosomes in a cell.
* Diploid cells have two sets of chromosomes (one from each parent).
* Haploid cells have only one set of chromosomes.
Examples of haploid cells:
* Gametes (sperm and egg cells): These cells are produced through meiosis, a process that reduces the number of chromosomes by half.
* Some fungal and plant cells: In some organisms, haploid cells can be a part of their normal life cycle.
