They would produce tetraploid offspring. Reproductive cells are also called sex cells (gametes). Gametes form a fertilized egg (zygote) when they combine their chromosomes in a single nucleus. So two diploid (2n) gametes would form a tetraploid (4n) zygote. (n is a symbol for the number of chromosomes in a single set.)
Scientists believe that many plants have doubled their chromosome number at some point in the past, becoming tetraploid (in some cases more than once); coffee and wheat are just two examples. This sort of thing is rare in animals.

∙ 15y agofertilisation couldn't occur, or if it did, the "thing" couldn't develop/grow into something alive because its genetic material would be too much of a mess. nah, i don't think fertilisation would even occur, the cells would just be normal body cells with no function.

∙ 11y agoIf a gamete is diploid, instead of haploid, it carries an extra copy of the chromosomes. This means that when it fuses with another gamete (fertilization), the resulting organism will have 3 sets of chromosomes instead of the the usual 2.
The pregnancy is usually not viable, and therefore results in miscarriage.

∙ 11y agoThe entire set of chromosomes would double with every conception. So instead of starting with two haploid cells of 23 chromosomes each, you would start with two diploid cells of 46 chromosomes each. The diploid cells would fuse creating a tetraploid cell with 92 chromosomes. If two tetraploid cells fused, you would then have an octopoid cell with 184 chromosomes and so forth.
Given that the prescience of one extra chromosome causes Down's syndrome and other conditions, it would seem that an entire set of extra chromosomes would not be conducive to life.

What is the number of chromosomes in the starting cell in meiosis?
1 diploid cell-->2 diploid cells-->4 haploid cells.
Does mitosis begin with haploid cell or diploid cell?
yea mitosis do begins with a haploid as well as doploid cell also..nd if the parent cell is haploid so the two daughter cells that are identical to each other will be haploid and if the parent cell is diploid so the daughter cells will be diploid.
Does mitosis results in four haploid gametes?
No - mitosis results in two genetically identical diploid cells.Meiosis creates four haploid cells.
How many chromosomes are in the bodycells or an organism that has a haploid number of 8?
An organisms haploid number is one half of its diploid number. Therefore, a haploid number of 8 implies a diploid number of 16.
What is a diploid parent cell undergoes mitosis then afterwards there will be?
Two diploid daughter cells with 46 chromosomes each. In Meiosis, there would be 4 haploid cells with 23 chromosomes each. Edited answer; A zygote undergoes mitosis to form an young embryo, which ultimately develops in to a new plant
Why are human reproductive cells haploid?
The same reason any creature that uses sexual reproduction: a means to give half of their chromosomes to mix with another half in order to create a genetically diverse offspring.
Do eggs and sperms diploid chromosomes?
Gametes, such as eggs and sperm, are haploid, not diploid. Diploid would be somatic cells, such as skin cells or brain cells.
Where would you find diploid and haploids in the human body?
All cells except sex cells are diploid. And sex cells are haploid.
What kind of cells would be diploid?
Somatic (body) cells. NOT sex cells.
Are sperm cells produced from a parent cell that is diploid or haploid?
Sperm cells are diploid. Since humans are diploid organisms, I'm pretty sure the sperm would be as well. - biology honor student
Body cells contain 2 sets of chromosomes what are they called?
Polyploidy Polyploidy is having any number of extra sets of chromosomes. For a diploid organism, having two diploid sets would make it a tetraploid. For a haploid, having two haploid sets would make it diploid. For a tetraploid, having two tetraploid sets would make it octaploid.
What is the differences between haploid and diploid?
Diploid organisms contain the genetic material in two copies for a gene. Haploid organisms contain only single copy of every gene.
Does a skin cell have a diploid number of 46?
92. That zygote would never reach maturity. It would be aborted very early if it ever divided at all
What is the number of chromosomes in the starting cell in meiosis?
1 diploid cell-->2 diploid cells-->4 haploid cells.
What kind of Cell results when a diploid and a haploid gamete fuse during fertilization?
I am not sure what your saying, but i think you mean "what are the haploid cells involved in fertilization?" In this case the answer would be " sperm and egg cells", which then makes a diploid.
How many daughter cells would be produced if 32 cells undergo meiosis?
8
Does mitosis begin with haploid cell or diploid cell?
yea mitosis do begins with a haploid as well as doploid cell also..nd if the parent cell is haploid so the two daughter cells that are identical to each other will be haploid and if the parent cell is diploid so the daughter cells will be diploid.
