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.
