So that on fertilization with the egg, the normal diploid(2n) structure of the normal cells of the body is reattained.
Sperm cells are haploid cells, since they are created through meiosis.
Haploid cells Sex cells Reproductive cells Sperm & oocytes
haploid - they contain a single set of unpaired chromosomes
sperm cells and egg cells
gametes (sperm or ova) are haploid cells
a sperm cell

Gametes are haploid cells. They are more commonly known as sperm and egg cells.
Sperm cells are haploid as they contain half the original starting material from the parent cell.
Somatic (body) cells are diploid. Sex cells (gametes) are haploid.
gametes are haploid (half the normal number of chromosomes)
Presumably a cat's reproductive cells (eggs, sperm) would be haploid.
