haploid Cells that contain only one member of each homologous pair of chromosomes (haploid number = n). At fertilization, two haploid gametes fuse to form a single cell with a diploid number of chromosomes.

Haploid cells can live indefinitely in the haploid condition. However, if two cells of opposite mating types meet, they can fuse and enter the diploid phase of the cell cycle.
This is not as rare event as you might expect.

Haploid cell. A cell containing only one set, or half the usual (diploid) number, of chromosomes.

Gametes are haploid cells; that is, they contain one complete set of chromosomes (the actual number varies from species to species).

cerevisiae haploid cells can be of one of two mating types, Roman a or Greek a. Roman haploids secrete a pheromone that in Greek haploids stimulates processes that lead to mating.
Full article >>>

A haploid cell whose chromosome number was reduced when a diploid primary oocyte underwent meiosis. A secondary oocyte will undergo a second round of meiosis to produce a haploid ovum and the haploid second polar body.

Gamete -- an haploid cell.gel electrophoresis the process by which nucleic acids (DNA or RNA) or proteins are separated by size according to movement of the charged molecules in an electrical field.

We [began to work] with yeast cells because they were susceptible to genetics; because they would grow as haploid cells. We couldn't do the same kind of genetics with human cells. We were looking for the things in common between yeast and human cells.

In meiosis, the diploid cell's genome, which is composed of ordered structures of coiled DNA called chromosomes, is replicated once and separated twice, producing four sets of haploid cells each containing half of the original cell's chromosomes.
Full article >>>

In meiosis, a diploid cell divides to produce four haploid cells, each with half the original chromosome content. For this reason, meiosis is often called a "reduction division".
