Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A haploid cell has a nucleus that contains only half of each chromosome pair, 23 chromosomes (1N). In a normal haploid cell, one sex chromosome is present. Because there is only one chromosome of each pair present, only one allele of each gene is present, and the cell is not homozygous. A mature haploid cell does not undergo cell division (mitosis) and does not replicate its DNA.
