Gametes are haploid cells produced by the process of meiosis. They unite during fertilization to form a diploid zygote, which divides to form the embryo, and is the first cell of the new offspring of the organisms that produced the gametes. For example, human females produce ova, the female gametes, and human males produce sperm cells, the male gametes. During fertilization, one ovum and one sperm cell unite to form a zygote which divides by mitotic cell division, forming the embryo. The baby that is produced is not considered an offspring of the gametes, but an offspring of the mother and father that produced it.

Is an adult are you a haploid or diploid?
Diploid (except for your gametes which are haploid).
Are offspring of gametes haploid or diploid?
Gametes are haploid. When two gametes unite during fertilization, they form a diploid zygote, genetically unique from either parent, and the first cell of the offspring. The zygote is not really considered an offspring of the gametes, but of the parent organisms that produced the gametes. For example, a human zygote is the first cell of a human baby formed when a sperm from a male and an ovum from a female unite during fertilization. The zygote and subsequent baby are the offspring of the mother and father.
Are the gametes produced in insect haploid or diploid?
Insect haploid
Diploid gametes is a product of meiosis?
Gametes are by definition haploid
Are The adult angiosperms diploid or haploid?
The adult angiosperms are usually the diploid. This is with an exception of the gametes which are usually haploid.

Are most of the cells in the human body called haploid or diploid?
All cells in the human body that are not gametes (sperm or egg cells) are diploid. Gametes are haploid.
The fusion of male and female gamete is called?
The fusion of two haploid gametes to form a new diploid cell is called fertilization. Self-fertilization in plants, the fusion of two gametes from the same individual to form a diploid offspring.
What do haploid gametes form?
two haploid gametes fuse to produce a zygote which develops into a diploid sporophyte. <3, Katie:)
What are haploid and diploid cells?
Somatic (body) cells are diploid. Sex cells (gametes) are haploid.
