Mammals cannot survive as a haploid cell, and meiosis creates four gametes that are haploid, so the two haploid cells need to combine in order to have a diploid zygote that is also genetically different.
Because they contain only a single copy of either a mothers DNA or a fathers DNA. Most cells in the body with a nucleus contain 46 chromosomes that make up their DNA, a gamete is an exception because it contains 23 chromosomes, when a sperm (containing 23 chromosomes) fuses with an egg (containing 23 chromosomes) a zygote is formed which will develop into blastocyst and then onto a foetus. This zygote contains 46 chromosomes, enough genetic information to develop into a healthy baby.
Gametes, sex cells, are haploid because they make diploid zygotes. In sexual reproducing species, meiosis, the halving of chromosome number along sexual lines, male and female. is necessary so that when the sperm and egg meet in fertilization a proper chromosome number is maintained.
gametes are haploid (half the normal number of chromosomes)
Cells produced by meiosis are called daughter cells which contain one haploid of chromosomes. So, these cells are called haploid daughter cells.
sex cells, like sperm or eggs in humans. They are normally haploid.
gametes, sex cells, haploid cells. the process is meiosis.
Assuming that this is referring to gametes, so sperm and eggs, yes, reproductive cells are haploid.
gametes are haploid (half the normal number of chromosomes)
Haploid reproductive cells are called gametes or sex cells if human gametes like human body cells were produced through mitosis each gametes would have 46 chromosomes.
gametes
All cells in the human body that are not gametes (sperm or egg cells) are diploid. Gametes are haploid.
gametes (sperm or ova) are haploid cells
gametes
They are the sex cells. They are haploid cells.
Cells produced by meiosis are called daughter cells which contain one haploid of chromosomes. So, these cells are called haploid daughter cells.
Gametes are haploid cells. They are more commonly known as sperm and egg cells.
4 haploid cells
The haploid condition is desirable in gametes because two haploid cells come together to make one full cell. If the gametes were not haploid then the organism would have too many chromosomes.
Somatic (body) cells are diploid. Sex cells (gametes) are haploid.
