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?
gamete is the male reproductive cell called sperm.A haploid reproductive cell that unites with another haploid reproductive cell to from a zygote.
Which is a gamete?
A haploid cell produced by meiosis—APEX
What are cells called with half the genetic information?
Haploid, 1N cells, reproductive cells. Not all haploid cells are reproductive 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.
Which best describes gamete?
A haploid cell
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?
gamete is the male reproductive cell called sperm.A haploid reproductive cell that unites with another haploid reproductive cell to from a zygote.
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.
What haploid reproductive cell is like sperm or eggs?
I think you are referring to a gamete, which can be a sperm cell or an egg cell.
What are Haploid sex cell formed in the female reproductive organs?
Egg or Ovum
In oogenesis a diploid reproductive cell divides meiotically to produce?
one haploid gamate
What is haploidization?
A haploid is a cell that has half the amount of chromosomes as the somatic cells. Reproductive cells are haploids.
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.
Which is a gamete?
A haploid cell produced by meiosis—APEX
What are cells called with half the genetic information?
Haploid, 1N cells, reproductive cells. Not all haploid cells are reproductive cells
