It must join with the other gamete to form a diploid number of chromosomes. If it had a diploid number to begin with, the result would be twice the normal amount of chromosomes.
A normal cell had "2n" number of chromosomes, and each gametes have "n". If they had "2n" to begin with, the resulting zygote would have "4n", which is clearly not normal in human genome.

What is the adjective referring to the number of chromosomes in a gamete?
Diploids and Haploids. Haploids have one set of chromosomes (Gametes). Diploids have two sets of chromosomes (Zygotes).
What is the meaning of a haploid?
Cells with a full set of chromosomes are Diploids. Cells that contain unpaired chromosomes contain half the set of chromosomes and are called Haploids. Gametes are reproductive cells (sperm and eggs) that are haploids which are produced by the process meiosis.
What is the function of meiosis.?
Form of nuclear division that divides a diploid cell into haploid cells;important in forming gametes for sexual reproduction Meiosis halves the number of chromosomes in the daughter cells. It also bring about new genetic combinations by crossing over. The haploids produced by meiosis form gametes and union of male and female gametes leads to sexual reproduction.Thus meiosis is the foundation stone of sexual reproduction. Meiosis halves the number of chromosomes in the daughter cells. It also bring about new genetic combinations by crossing over. The haploids produced by meiosis form gametes and union of male and female gametes leads to sexual reproduction.Thus meiosis is the foundation stone of sexual reproduction.
When a female cell reproduces gametes how many haploids form?
When a female cell reproduces gametes, it forms one haploid gamete during each round of cell division. So from one diploid cell, two haploid gametes are produced after meiosis.
If somatic cell has 30 chromosomes how many are in the gametes?
If a somatic cell has 30 chromosomes, then the gametes produced by that cell would contain 15 chromosomes. Gametes, like sperm and egg cells, are haploid cells containing half the number of chromosomes as somatic cells, which are diploid.
What must happen in order for gametes to be formed?
How are gametes formed?
How many haploids humans have?
The term diploid is an adjective, not a noun. You might ask how many diploid cells are in humans. The answer is, many trillions. Most human cells are diploid. Only the gametes are haploid.
Starting whith one diploid cell how many haploid sperm cells have formed after both phases of meiosis have been completed?
Haploids? We're talking about haploids? Haploids. Not diploids, we're talking about haploids. Not diploids, not the biology I love, we're talking about haploids! (Just kidding. Merry Christmas!)
How are haploids and diploids involved in meiosis?
Haploid is what you would call the four not identicaldaughter cells (gametes) created by meiosis. Diploid are the pairs of matching chromosomes that have not yet been split during meiosis 1.
Why should the gametes be haploid when the new organism will be diploid?
Gametes need to be haploid because when they fertilize and combine during sexual reproduction, they restore the full complement of chromosomes (diploid) in the zygote. This ensures that the offspring will have the correct number of chromosomes for proper development.
How many diploids are there if there is 36 haploids?
Diploids are formed by pairing two haploid sets of chromosomes. If there are 36 haploids, the number of diploids can be calculated by dividing the number of haploids by 2. Therefore, there would be 18 diploids (36 haploids ÷ 2 = 18 diploids).
When do daughter cells become haploids?
In the Anaphase
