3 votes

Answer:

A haploid human cell has 23 chromosomes.

Step-by-step explanation:

Haploid human cells are the term used to refer to the number of choromosomes within egg or sperm cells. Since a fertile egg holds 46 chromosomes, a haploid will naturally hold half that number.

Human diploid cells have 46 chromosomes (the somatic number, 2n) and human haploid gametes (egg and sperm) have 23 chromosomes (n).
