A monoploid organism is an organism that has only a single set of chrosomes. Monoploids are usually sterile organisms as meiosis can not take place due to the fact that meiosis occurs only in diploid organisms where all chromosomes have a pairing partner. Monoploid organisms tend to be rare but have an important role in plant breeding.
