ribosomes
Sexual reproduction requires an two haploid gametes fusing to form a single diploid organism. Asexual reproduction does not.
Fertilization of gametes produces a diploid cell called a zygote. This occurs when the haploid sperm and egg fuse to form a new organism with a full set of chromosomes.
Gametes are haploid, meaning they have half the number of chromosomes as diploid cells.
two haploid gametes fuse to produce a zygote which develops into a diploid sporophyte. <3, Katie:)
diploid, except for its gametes, which are haploid
Diploid gametes are not a product of meiosis. Meiosis is the process by which diploid cells undergo two rounds of division to produce haploid gametes. The haploid gametes then join during fertilization to form a diploid zygote.
The haploid number is half the diploid number, making it six
In the haploid life cycle of Chlamydomonas, the organism exists as a single-celled haploid individual that produces gametes through mitosis. After fertilization, it forms a diploid zygote that undergoes meiosis to produce haploid spores, completing the life cycle. In a diploid life cycle, the organism exists as a diploid individual that undergoes meiosis to produce haploid gametes, which fuse to form a diploid zygote that develops into a multicellular diploid individual.
Gametes are haploid in terms of their genetic composition.
Gametes produced in insects are haploid. This means they have half the number of chromosomes as diploid cells in the insect's body. When two haploid gametes (one from each parent) fuse during fertilization, they form a complete diploid zygote.
In animals, haploid cells are typically gametes, such as sperm and egg cells, which contain one set of chromosomes. Diploid cells, on the other hand, are somatic cells, including most body cells, which contain two sets of chromosomes. During sexual reproduction, the fusion of haploid gametes results in a diploid zygote, restoring the diploid number. Typically, all cells in an adult organism, except for gametes, are diploid.
Haploid cell is just a term meaning a cell has only one set of chromosomes. Diploid is a term used for an organism or cell having double the basic haploid number of chromosomes.
