Haploid refers to a cell that has has only one copy of each chromosome, like in a gamete such as a sperm cell or egg cell. Upon fertilization, the two haploids come together to form a full diploid cell (two copies of each chromosome) which then goes on to form the complete organism. Monosomy refers to a condition where there is only one copy of a specific chromosome. For example, in the human condition Turner Syndrome, there is only one X chromosome, instead of two sex chromosomes. Most incidences of monosomy other than Turner Syndrome are lethal, so there aren't many examples of it.
The independent variable in the hypothesis of an observed increased in sea turtle sickness once an increase in red tide can be seen would be the increase of red tide.
The reason for this is that red tide increases or decreases will happen independently of the amount of sea turtle sickness - therefore increasing sea turtle sickness will be dependent on the first variable. (independent one).
