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.
hiploid cell is a sex choromosome without pairs. while diploid is a cell with two sets of choromosomes
Somatic (body) cells are diploid. Sex cells (gametes) are haploid.
Haploid
The parent cell is diploid. The daughter cells are haploid.
diploid foolall are diploid except sperms and eggs
Diploid and haploid cells do not have alternation of generations; this phenomenon occurs in multicellular organisms with a life cycle that alternates between haploid and diploid stages. Mutations can occur in both diploid and haploid cells, but they are more likely to have an impact in diploid cells due to their higher genetic complexity.
