N refers to the number of sets of chromosomes in a cell. For haploid cells "n" stands for 1n which have one set of chromosomes. vs. diploid cells which are 2n having one set from mom's egg and one set from dad's sperm.

In haploid cells, "N" represents the number of unique chromosomes present. Haploid cells have half the number of chromosomes found in diploid cells, and thus their chromosome number is represented by "N."
Haploid cells are denoted n, and diploid cells are denoted 2n."n" refers to the set of chromosomes - therefore haploid cells have one set of chromosomes and diploid cells have two sets (pairs of chromosomes). Haploid cells have half the number of chromosomes as diploid cells.
The haploid chromosome number is half the chromosome number of the body cells. For example, in humans, body cells have 46 chromosomes. In human haploid cells (sex cells), there are 23 chromosomes.
A haploid cell has one set of chromosomes (n) while a diploid cell has two sets of chromosomes (2n). Haploid cells are typically found in reproductive cells (sperm and egg), whereas diploid cells are found in most somatic cells in the body.
Haploid. A haploid cell contains one set of chromosomes (n), which is half the number of chromosomes found in a diploid cell. Haploid cells are typically found in reproductive cells like eggs and sperm.
A Haploid number is n or 1n.
