The fusion of male and female gamete is called?
The fusion of two haploid gametes to form a new diploid cell is called fertilization. Self-fertilization in plants, the fusion of two gametes from the same individual to form a diploid offspring.
What is diploidy?
Diploid state of organisms is originated during process of fertilization of sexual reproduction. During fertilization, two haploid cells or gametes of different types are fused together to produce a diploid egg (zygote).
What is the process that results in 4 haploid gametes?
Meiosis results in four haploid cells known as gametes.
What does the term haploid mean?
The haploid number (n) is the number of chromosomes in a gamete of an individual. This is distinct from the monoploid number (x), which is the number of unique chromosomes in a single complete set. Gametes (sperm, and ova) are haploid cells. The haploid gametes produced by (most) diploid organisms are monoploid, and these can combine to form a diploid zygote. For example, most animals are diploid and produce monoploid gametes.
What purpose does fertilization serve?
The purpose of fertilization is the first step in the reproduction of new offspring, which contributes to the longevity of different species, so that they do not become extinct.i.e. human fertilization occurs when a haploid sperm cell & haploid secondary oocyte produce a diploid nucleus
The fusion of male and female gamete is called?

What do haploid gametes form?
two haploid gametes fuse to produce a zygote which develops into a diploid sporophyte. <3, Katie:)
Two haploid gametes typically fuse to produce a diploid zygote?
True.
Are gametes haploid offspring haploid or diploid?
Gametes are haploid cells produced by the process of meiosis. They unite during fertilization to form a diploid zygote, which divides to form the embryo, and is the first cell of the new offspring of the organisms that produced the gametes. For example, human females produce ova, the female gametes, and human males produce sperm cells, the male gametes. During fertilization, one ovum and one sperm cell unite to form a zygote which divides by mitotic cell division, forming the embryo. The baby that is produced is not considered an offspring of the gametes, but an offspring of the mother and father that produced it.
In sexual reproduction two haploid gametes typically fuse to produce a diploid zygote?
Meosis is the process that brings about the generation of gametes. In meosis, there are two reductional divisions that result in the daughter cells having haploid number of chromosomes.
What process allows for the fusion of 2 haploid cells to produce a diploid cell?
Fertilization
What is diploidy?
Diploid state of organisms is originated during process of fertilization of sexual reproduction. During fertilization, two haploid cells or gametes of different types are fused together to produce a diploid egg (zygote).
In sexual repordution two haploid gametes typically fuse to a produce a diploid zygote true or false?
TRUE
How does the haploid form of Ulva switch to its diploid form?
Gametophytes produce cells that undergo mitosis to produce gametes that fuse to form a zygote.
What is the function of a haploid cell?
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.
Which sorts of plants undergo sexual reproduction?
Any plant that produces haploid gametes can be said to undergo sexual reproduction. The process involves the "joining" of two haploid gametes to form a diploid embryo (or zygote). Pretty much all plants that produce flowers (Angiosperms) or cones (Gymnosperms) produce pollen and eggs (which are the haploid gametes).
What is the process that results in 4 haploid gametes?
Meiosis results in four haploid cells known as gametes.
