The complete set of genetic material in an organism is called its?

Short Answer is It's Chromatin. Ordinarily it is called Diploid, see chromosome pairs, the chromosome number is 2N. After meiosis the genetic material is Haploid, its chromosome number is 1N; after replication yet before mitosis the genetic material is Quadraploid with its chromosome number 4N - briefly. The full set of genetic material in an organism is called GENOME.

Why is it important to have haploid sex cells rather than diploid ones?

If a normal diploid chromosome complement is represented by 2N a haploid chromosome complement would be 1N. Two haploid 1N sex cells combine to produce a 2N offspring. If the sex cells were 2N the offspring would be 2N+2N=4N...subsequent offspring would then be 8N and then 16N and then... Halving the genetic material prevents this bizarre sequence of events and insures that the same amount of genetic material is passed on each time.

Why is the number of chromosomes halved?

The normal cellular genetic complement number 2N is reduced to 1N in both of the sexual gametes so that when they recombine we end up with the standard chromosome number [1N + 1N = 2N] in our zygote.
