Solution

The correct option is A Haploid
  • Body cells or somatic cells are diploid (2n), i.e, they have two complete sets of chromosomes, each of which have been received from one parent.

  • Gamete cells are haploid (n) as they are formed as a result of meiotic or reduction division of the gamete mother cells present in the gonads.

  • The male gametes in humans are motile.

  • The somatic cells such as the phagocytes are motile in nature

    Both the body cells and the gametes lack cell walls as these are animal cell

    (A) Haploid
