Haploid cells only contain half of the DNA needed for a living organism. All haploid cells are reproductive cells. They connect with their respective other half to form a zygote. Diploid cells are cells such as the ones found all over the body, such as skin or muscle cells.

Haploid cells contain a single set of chromosomes (n) while diploid cells contain two sets of chromosomes (2n), one from each parent. Haploid cells are typically found in gametes (sperm and egg cells) for sexual reproduction, while most somatic cells in the body are diploid.
