No - a zygote will be diploid.
The sperm and egg are haploid - but they combine to create the zygote - which means it will have 2 sets of chromosomes.
The haploid cells are the sperm and egg cell.
A zygote is diploid, it is formed by the union of a male sex cell (a sperm) and a female sex cell (an ovum) both of which are haploid.
A sperm cell
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
The Zygote is the only diploid cell in the haploid cell life cycle.
This would be a zygote
gamete is the male reproductive cell called sperm.A haploid reproductive cell that unites with another haploid reproductive cell to from a zygote.
If a haploid cell would attempt to perform meiosis it would split in to two cells. This process is called mitosis.
The pollen and megaspore which is the receiving haploid cell combine to form a diploid cell. That diploid cell grows into a zygote .
the zygote
The diploid cell that results from fertilization is called a zygote. It is a product of the fusion of two haploid gametes, the sperm and the egg.
