The main difference between haploid cells and diploid cells is diploid cells have two complete sets of chromosomes, while haploid cells only have one complete set of chromosomes. Haploid cells have half the amount of chromosomes that diploid cells have.
Ex: Human cells like skin, lung etc. are diploid that is they have two sets of chromosomes (23 from each parent) but Gemetic cells like egg and sperm are haploid. Haploid: Haploid are the cells which contain a single set of chromosomes in genome (chromosomes). Ex: Gemetic cells etc. Ploidy can be triploidy (3 sets), tetraploidy (4 sets), pentaploidy (5 sets) and hexaploidy (6 sets). Like comoom wheat species are hexaploid i.e. they have 5 sets of chromosome in their genomes.
