First I might note that your question implies that haploid is a verb... something cells do. That is not the case. Haploid is a state in which a cell is in. It is an adjective. It describes a cell that one has one copy of each chromosome. A better way to ask that would be...what cells are haploid in humans (or whatever organism you are interested it).
Well that depends on the organism. Many organisms (fungi for example) live most of their lives as haploid organisms. But I am going to assume you are talking about humans. In humans the only haploid cells are gametes produced in the gonads. Sperm for males and eggs for females. These each contain 1 copy of each chromosome. Upon fertilization they merge and the resulting cell becomes diploid again... a state in which the organism (person) will remain in for the rest of its life with the exception of the gametes which it then produces.

What are haploid and diploid cells?
Somatic (body) cells are diploid. Sex cells (gametes) are haploid.
Are sex cells haploid or diploid?
Haploid
What types of cells are produced from Meiosis?
Haploid cells Sex cells Reproductive cells Sperm & oocytes
Is amoeba a haploid or a diploid?
Amoeba is a haploid organism. This means that it has only one set of chromosomes in its cells.
What process can reproduce haploid eukaryotic cells?
The haploid eukaryotic cells are produced by mitosis in haploid plants and by meiosis in diploid plants.
What are cells called with half the genetic information?
Cells with half the genetic information are called haploid cells. Each haploid cell has only one set of chromosomes, whereas diploid cells have two sets. Haploid cells are typically found in reproductive cells such as sperm and egg cells.
Are haploid cells produced by mitosis?
No. Haploid cells are produced by meiosis.
Are fingers made of diploid cells or haploid cells?
Fingers are made of diploid cells. Haploid cells are the reproductive cells.
What are haploid and diploid cells?
Somatic (body) cells are diploid. Sex cells (gametes) are haploid.
Are sex cells haploid or diploid?
Haploid
What types of cells are produced from Meiosis?
Haploid cells Sex cells Reproductive cells Sperm & oocytes
Is amoeba a haploid or a diploid?
Amoeba is a haploid organism. This means that it has only one set of chromosomes in its cells.
Are the final cells in meiosis diploid or haploid?
Haploid
What is meant by haploid number of cells?
Haploid= Half.
Does meiosis make haploid diploid cells?
haploid
What process can reproduce haploid eukaryotic cells?
The haploid eukaryotic cells are produced by mitosis in haploid plants and by meiosis in diploid plants.
How is the haploid chromosome number?
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.
