Question

Whether the gametes diploid or haploid? Why?

Solution

Gametes:

  1. Sexually mature species produce two morphologically distinct forms of gametes.
  2. Each individual produces only one type.
  3. A gamete is either an egg or female gamete and sperm or male gamete.

Cause of haploid gametes generation:

  1. Meiosis is a cell division process in which the parent cell produces four gametes.
  2. The development of egg and sperm cells occurs by meiosis.
  3. Meiosis is a division that occurs in a reductional manner.
  4. As a result, the diploid germ cells produce haploid gametes.
  5. In sexually reproducing organisms, a haploid cell combines with another haploid cell during fertilization.
  6. After fertilization, it produces a diploid zygote.
  7. Meiosis produces gametes, which contain half of an individual's genetic information and one ploidy of each kind.
