"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.
What else can I help you with?
Are gametes haploid or diploid in terms of their genetic composition?
Gametes are haploid in terms of their genetic composition.
Are gametes haploid or diploid?
Gametes are haploid, meaning they have half the number of chromosomes as diploid cells.
Are gametes haploid or diploid?
Gametes are haploid, meaning they contain half the number of chromosomes compared to other cells in the body. This haploid state allows for the fusion of two gametes during fertilization to form a diploid zygote with a complete set of chromosomes.
How many chromosomes are in a haploid gametes?
Haploid gametes have half the number of chromosomes as a diploid cell, so in humans, there are 23 chromosomes in a haploid gamete.
What is the name given to human female haploid gametes?
Human female haploid gametes are called eggs or ova.
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.
Which cell would be a haploid?
Gametes are haploid cells. They are more commonly known as sperm and egg cells.
Are gametes haploid or diploid in terms of their genetic composition?
Gametes are haploid in terms of their genetic composition.
Are gametes haploid or diploid?
Gametes are haploid, meaning they have half the number of chromosomes as diploid cells.
Are gametes haploid or diploid?
Gametes are haploid, meaning they contain half the number of chromosomes compared to other cells in the body. This haploid state allows for the fusion of two gametes during fertilization to form a diploid zygote with a complete set of chromosomes.
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.
What is the function of a haploid cell?
The function of a haploid cell is to participate in sexual reproduction, where it combines with another haploid cell to form a diploid cell containing genetic material from both parents. In humans, haploid cells are sperm cells in males and egg cells in females.
How many chromosomes are in a haploid gametes?
Haploid gametes have half the number of chromosomes as a diploid cell, so in humans, there are 23 chromosomes in a haploid gamete.
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
