23
Haploid cells carry half of the chromosomic load of a cell, in the case of humans it is 23, which in turn refer to the gametes or sex cells. but it depends of the species in question.
The absolute number depends on the parent organism, but there are half the number of chromosomes present in a haploid cell as compared to the parental diploid cell. In humans diploid cells have 46 chromosomes, and haploid cells have 23. A diploid chromosome Set is a Paired Set; the haploid chromosome Set is a complete set of the Organism's chromosomes - UNPAIRED, as in Unique.
