The end result of meiosis is haploid daughter cells with chromosomal combinations different from those originally present in the parent. In sperm cells, four haploid gametes are produced.
A gamete of Drosophila has 2n chromosomes, which is the haploid number. Drosophila, like most organisms, has a diploid number of chromosomes in its somatic cells. During meiosis, gametes are produced with half the number of chromosomes to maintain the chromosome number in the species.
If all of the chromosomes fail to separate in meiosis, then nondisjunction can result in a diploid gamete. This is a type of chromosomal mutation. In animals, a zygote produced from the union of a mutated diploid gamete and a normal haploid gamete will have triploidy, which is lethal. In plants, this is not necessarily lethal.
Meiosis produces gamete cells, such as sperm and egg cells, which are haploid cells with half the number of chromosomes as a normal body cell.
A gamete has half the diploid number of chromosomes, so in this case, the gamete would have 15 chromosomes.
Human gametes have 23 chromosomes. (In cases of abnormality there may be a different number of chromosomes in a gamete).
D. Be produced by meiosis
A gamete has half the number of chromosomes of the somatic (diploid) cell. Therefore a zebra gamete would have 25 chromosomes if 50 is the diploid number.

By the process of meiosis.
A gamete of Drosophila has 2n chromosomes, which is the haploid number. Drosophila, like most organisms, has a diploid number of chromosomes in its somatic cells. During meiosis, gametes are produced with half the number of chromosomes to maintain the chromosome number in the species.
If all of the chromosomes fail to separate in meiosis, then nondisjunction can result in a diploid gamete. This is a type of chromosomal mutation. In animals, a zygote produced from the union of a mutated diploid gamete and a normal haploid gamete will have triploidy, which is lethal. In plants, this is not necessarily lethal.
Meiosis is the process of making a cell that has the same number of chromosomes as the parents. In order to keep the same number, they each make gametes which have half their own number of chromosomes. When one gamete, sperm, fertilizes the other gamete, the egg, they join their number of chromosomes together to make an offspring with the same number as the parents have. If they did not do this by meiosis, then very soon, we would have animals which huge numbers of chromosomes.
opposite poles of the cell, ensuring that each gamete receives only one copy of each chromosome. This is important for maintaining the correct number of chromosomes in the offspring.
Meiosis is the process of nuclear division in which the number of chromosomes in certain cells is halved during gamete formation. This reduction in chromosome number ensures that when two gametes combine during fertilization, the resulting zygote will have the correct number of chromosomes.
if you are asking what one is, a gamete is a sex cell that has half the number the number of chromosomes from one parent. during fertilization, two gamete(one from each parent) combine. they are formed during meiosis.
There are 23 chromosomes in a human gamete
Meiosis results in gametes that have half the number of chromosomes of other cells. A gamete carries one of each pair of homologous chromosomes. Their are 46 chromosoes in Meiosis I and 23 in Meiosis II.
