A gamete.
During meiosis I all chromosomes are replicated so there are two copies of each chromosome. Then, during meiosis II the process (generally speaking) is repeated without the replication step resulting in cells (called gametes) that contain only ONE copy of each chromosome. This is what's known as a haploid cell (n). When two haploid cells combine in humans (sperm and egg), the resulting cell (zygote) is now diploid (2n) and contains one full set of chromosomes.

What is gamete?
Gametes are reproductive cells (sperm in males, eggs in females) that carry half the genetic material of an organism. During sexual reproduction, gametes fuse to form a zygote with a complete set of chromosomes.
What are cells called with half the genetic information?
Cells with half the genetic information are called haploid cells. Each haploid cell has only one set of chromosomes, whereas diploid cells have two sets. Haploid cells are typically found in reproductive cells such as sperm and egg cells.
What kind of cell has half as many chromosomes as the parent cell?
That's a haploid cell. (Cells with the full set of chromosomes are called diploid.)Some plants and micro-organisms go through stages in their life when their bodies are made of haploid cells, but in animals, the only haploid cells are gametes (sperm and egg cells). They're haploid so that when they fuse together at fertilisation the full diploid number of chromosomes will be restored.Haploid cells are produced by a process called meiosis.
When a cell contains only one chromosome of each homologous pair the cell is?
ploidy is the classification based on the number of homologous chromosomes present. if there is only one pair of homologous chromosomes then the nucleus is said to be haploid if there are two pairs then it is known as diploid if three it is triploid if many it is noted as polyploidy --------------------------- an oocyte or a spermatocyte are haploid cells in a species that normally have diploid cells.
Reproductive cells containing only one copy of each gene?
Reproductive cells containing only one copy of each gene are called haploid cells. Haploid cells are formed through the process of meiosis, which involves two rounds of cell division resulting in four daughter cells, each with half the number of chromosomes as the parent cell. These haploid cells are essential for sexual reproduction and fusion with another haploid cell to form a new, genetically diverse diploid organism.
What is a haploid reproductive cell that unites with another haploid reproductive cell to for a zygote?
The haploid cells are the sperm and egg cell.
What is gamete?
Gametes are reproductive cells (sperm in males, eggs in females) that carry half the genetic material of an organism. During sexual reproduction, gametes fuse to form a zygote with a complete set of chromosomes.
What is a haploid female reproductive cell?
As you may know, almost all our cells contain pairs of chromosomes - 23 pairs to be exact. These are called diploid. Haploid cells contain only one chromosome from each pair. Reproductive cells (both male and female) are haploid, so they can fuse and form a diploid cell with chromosomes from both the male and the female. The female reproductive cell (which is haploid) is the ovum, or egg cell.
Haploid female reproductive cell?
I got "egg", if that helps any.
What do terms diploid and haploid mean?
Haploid cell has half of the normal number of chromosomes the reproductive cell has. Diploid cell refers when the cells has two alleles of a gene.
When a cell contains one sets of chromosomes it is said to be?
Haploid. A haploid cell contains one set of chromosomes (n), which is half the number of chromosomes found in a diploid cell. Haploid cells are typically found in reproductive cells like eggs and sperm.
What are cells called with half the genetic information?
Cells with half the genetic information are called haploid cells. Each haploid cell has only one set of chromosomes, whereas diploid cells have two sets. Haploid cells are typically found in reproductive cells such as sperm and egg cells.
In oogenesis a diploid reproductive cell divides meiotically to produce?
one haploid gamate
Haploid cells are symbolized by what?
Haploid cells are denoted n, and diploid cells are denoted 2n."n" refers to the set of chromosomes - therefore haploid cells have one set of chromosomes and diploid cells have two sets (pairs of chromosomes). Haploid cells have half the number of chromosomes as diploid cells.
What is haploidization?
A haploid is a cell that has half the amount of chromosomes as the somatic cells. Reproductive cells are haploids.
What haploid reproductive cell is like sperm or eggs?
Germ cells are haploid reproductive cells that are similar to sperm or eggs. They are produced through meiosis and are responsible for carrying genetic material from one generation to the next during sexual reproduction.
What is the different haploid and diploid cell?
Diploid cells have two sets of DNA (which is what is normal) while haploid cells (usually reproductive cells) have only one set.
