Uk Researchers have created a haploid stem cells in mouse. Mos tof the mamalian cells are diploid but for the first time researchers created mamalian with a single set of chromosomes. Diploid means to be two set of chromosomes and Haploid meant to be single set of chromosome. This is an important step in future reasearch on Genes. It will make easier for the researchers to find the exact changes on genes in a quick time on any mutation.
