Best Answer

gametes; they are haploid cells (i.e. they only have one set of chromosome);

when gametes (egg) and (sperm) merge, then you have a zygote (i.e. they have two sets of chromosome- one from the egg and one from the sperm).

If a cell that undergoes meiosis later is four cells with chromosome numbers 17 17 18 and 16 what happened?

one of the sister chromatids in one of the two cells that was produced during the first division of meiosis did not separate during the second division resulting in one cell with an extra chromosome and one with a missing chromosome. This process is known as nondisjunction
