Haploid is defined as having only a single set of chromosomes. In this case any haploid organism will not have multiple copies of the genes that program the same information. In animals all reproductive cells are haploid. Sperm and eggs are formed with half the diploid chromosomes so that when they combine they will be diploid. The human haploid number for my father, brother, and me is 23.
