The law of segregation, which states that the two alleles for an inherited trait segregate (separate from each other) during gamete formation and end up in different gametes.

Does fertilization of gametes produce a haploid or diploid cell?

Fertilization of gametes produces a diploid cell called a zygote. This occurs when the haploid sperm and egg fuse to form a new organism with a full set of chromosomes.


If a diploid organism has a genome consisting of twenty two chromosomes its gametes will have how many chromosomes?

Gametes have half the number of chromosomes - therefore if the diploid number is 22, the gametes would have 11 chromosomes.


What do haploid gametes form?

two haploid gametes fuse to produce a zygote which develops into a diploid sporophyte. <3, Katie:)


How many unique gametes can be produced via assortment for an organism with a diploid number of 6 chromosomes?

When a zygote is diploid it obtains two sets of chromosomes. Gametes contain one set of chromosomes. Therefore, 6 chromosomes would amount to 3 sets of gametes.


What are the main steps in the diploid life cycle?

The main steps in the diploid life cycle are: meiosis, to gametes, to fertilization, to zygote, to diploid individuals, to a reproductive cellIf you are mainly concentrating on the steps I guess you could say Meiosis and Fertilization.


Diploid gametes is a product of meiosis?

Diploid gametes are not a product of meiosis. Meiosis is the process by which diploid cells undergo two rounds of division to produce haploid gametes. The haploid gametes then join during fertilization to form a diploid zygote.


How many unique gametes can be produces via independent assortment for an organism with a diploid number of 6 chromosomes?

When a zygote is diploid it obtains two sets of chromosomes. Gametes contain one set of chromosomes. Therefore, 6 chromosomes would amount to 3 sets of gametes.


Are gametes haploid or diploid?

Gametes are haploid, meaning they have half the number of chromosomes as diploid cells.


If an organism's diploid number is twelve then what is its haploid number?

The haploid number is half the diploid number, making it six


Compare the haploid life cycle found in chlamydomonas with a diploid life cycle?

In the haploid life cycle of Chlamydomonas, the organism exists as a single-celled haploid individual that produces gametes through mitosis. After fertilization, it forms a diploid zygote that undergoes meiosis to produce haploid spores, completing the life cycle. In a diploid life cycle, the organism exists as a diploid individual that undergoes meiosis to produce haploid gametes, which fuse to form a diploid zygote that develops into a multicellular diploid individual.


How many different combinations of maternal and paternal chromosomes can be packaged in gametes made by an organism with a diploid number of 8?

There are 16 possible combinations of maternal and paternal chromosomes that can be packaged in gametes made by an organism with a diploid number of 8. This is because during meiosis, homologous pairs of chromosomes segregate independently, resulting in various combinations of maternal and paternal chromosomes in gametes.
