"Gametes result from meiosis so your question doesn't make sense."
Not necessarily a question that doesn't make sense. My Biology professors says that, "Meiosis halves the amount of information present in each cell, from the diploid (or double) complement of information to the haploid (or single) complement of information. Fertilization will later restore the ordinary diploid information content by combining the unique informational contents of the egg and the sperm." If that meiosis steps don't happen, then fertilization doesn't happen properly. Meiosis occurs in immature reproductive cells of sexually reproducing eukaryotes. It halves the diploid (2n) chromosome number, to the haploid number (n) for forthcoming gametes. The two gametes fuse at fertilization and the chromosome number is restored, giving the new individual two sets of chromosomes, one from each parent.

Are gametes haploid or diploid?
gametes are haploid (half the normal number of chromosomes)
What is the process by which haploid gametes combine?
Fertilization
Gametes are said to be?
sex cells, like sperm or eggs in humans. They are normally haploid.
If somatic cell has 30 chromosomes how many are in the gametes?
Since gametes are haploids, they would each contain haploid number of chromosomes, 15 chromosomes.
How many chromosomes are in a haploid gametes?
23 chromosomes
What would happen if the gametes forming a zygote are haploid?
If a haploid cell would attempt to perform meiosis it would split in to two cells. This process is called mitosis.
Why is the haploid condition desirable in gametes?
The haploid condition is desirable in gametes because two haploid cells come together to make one full cell. If the gametes were not haploid then the organism would have too many chromosomes.
Are gametes haploid or diploid?
gametes are haploid (half the normal number of chromosomes)
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 cell would be a haploid?
Gametes are haploid cells. They are more commonly known as sperm and egg cells.
Are the gametes produced in insect haploid or diploid?
Insect haploid
Is an adult are you a haploid or diploid?
Diploid (except for your gametes which are haploid).
Diploid gametes is a product of meiosis?
Gametes are by definition haploid
What do haploid gametes form?
two haploid gametes fuse to produce a zygote which develops into a diploid sporophyte. <3, Katie:)
Is Cardamine douglassii a haploid or diploid?
diploid, except for its gametes, which are haploid
What are haploid sex cells?
gametes
What cells would you expect to be haploid?
a sperm cell
