What are the possible gametes for AAA AAA?

A gamete is haploid (1N) so 'Aa' & 'AA' are diploid and during cell division (mitosis) gametes are formed and then 2 gametes merge together to make a diploid (think of sperm and egg, each is haploid or 1N, when fertilization occurs the egg and sperm form 1 cell that is 2N or diploid). So the possible gametes for 'Aa' would be 'A' & 'a' while for 'AA' the only gametes possible are 'A' If the question is asking what the possible gametes are for 'AaBB' the haploid (gamete) can be 'AB' or 'aB'


Does fertilization of gametes produce a haploid or diploid cell?

diploid


Are there half as many genes in gametes as there are in normal cells?

no, gametes are 1/4 of a diploid cell.


Is a dipolid cell a body cell?

Every cell in the human body (excluding gametes) is a diploid cell.


What is a diploid cell that results from the fusion of 2 haploid gametes?

the zygote


How many gamates are possible from a single diploid cell that undergoes meiosis?

23 chromosomes


Are gemetes diploid or haploid?

Gametes are haploid cells because they only contain half of the chromosomes of a diploid cell. For example, a human somatic (diploid) cell contains 46 chromosomes. Therefore, a haploid cell contains 23 chromosomes.


What are the steps in the diploid life cycle?

The steps in the diploid life cycle are meiosis, to gametes, to fertilization, to diploid, to reproductive cell. The main steps are Meiosis and Fertilization.


What does the term haploid mean?

The haploid number (n) is the number of chromosomes in a gamete of an individual. This is distinct from the monoploid number (x), which is the number of unique chromosomes in a single complete set. Gametes (sperm, and ova) are haploid cells. The haploid gametes produced by (most) diploid organisms are monoploid, and these can combine to form a diploid zygote. For example, most animals are diploid and produce monoploid gametes.


What is it called when two gametes fuse during sexual reproduction?

When two gametes fuse during sexual reproduction, the single cell that forms is called a zygote. The gametes each have one set of chromosomes and are said to be haploid. When they fuse, they form the first diploid cell of the offspring, the zygote, which has two sets of chromosomes.


Is a zygote a haploid cell or a diploid?

No, a zygote is a diploid because it has the full number of 46 (23pairs) of chromosomes. Two gametes one from the male one from the female meet to form a zygote. gametes = haploid everything else = diploid


A cell such as a somatic cell that contains two sets of chromosomes is said to be what?

A cell such as a somatic cell that contains two sets of chromosomes is said to be a diploid.
