Answer:

Haploid: Haploid cells contain a single set of chromosomes. Gametes are an example of haploid cells produced as a result of meiosis. Examples of gametes are the male and female reproductive cells, the sperm and egg cells respectively.

Diploid: Diploid cells, or somatic cells, contain two complete copies of each chromosome within the cell nucleus. The two copies of one chromosome pair up and are called homologous chromosomes. Examples of diploid cells include skin cells and muscle cells.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

In the higher organism, such as humans, haploid cells are only used for sex cells. In the higher organism, such as humans, all other cells beside sex cells are diploid. Examples of haploid cells are gametes (male or female germ cells). Examples of diploid cells include blood cells, skin cells and muscle cells.
