No, only diploid organisms can be heterozygous.
8. 2^3
Insect haploid
Literally millions of different gametes. That is why each individual is unique.
Gametes are another name for sex or sperm cells. When two haploids come together they form a zygote and therefore a diploid.
No, only diploid organisms can be heterozygous.
When a zygote is diploid it obtains two sets of chromosomes. Gametes contain one set of chromosomes. Therefore, 6 chromosomes would amount to 3 sets of gametes.

diploid is what the total number of chromosomes in an organism is
Gametes—APEX
Gametes have half the number of chromosomes - therefore if the diploid number is 22, the gametes would have 11 chromosomes.
When a zygote is diploid it obtains two sets of chromosomes. Gametes contain one set of chromosomes. Therefore, 6 chromosomes would amount to 3 sets of gametes.
