are little more than flagellated nuclei. Each consists of a head, which has an acrosome at its tip and contains a haploid set of chromosomes in a compact, inactive, state.

Is sperm haploid or diploid?
haploid - they contain a single set of unpaired chromosomes
Are gametes haploid or diploid?
gametes are haploid (half the normal number of chromosomes)
When are human cells diploid?
All human somatic (body) cells are diploid. Only the gametes, sperm and egg cells, are haploid.
Why is meiosis important to process of sexual reproduction?
Meiosis results in haploid gametes, sperm and egg cells. When the sperm fertilizes the egg, the resulting cell will be diploid, which is the condition of normal body cells.
Which cells would you expect to be haploid?
Firstly, a haploid cell is a cell that contains one set of chromosomes (n). Some examples include gametes (sperm and egg) and prokaryotes. Also, plants have haploid stages in their alternation of generations (or life cycles). This stage is called the gametophyte.
What is an example of an haploid?
sperm cells and egg cells
What cells would you expect to be haploid?
a sperm cell
Which cell would be a haploid?
Gametes are haploid cells. They are more commonly known as sperm and egg cells.
Is sperm haploid or diploid?
haploid - they contain a single set of unpaired chromosomes
Are gametes haploid or diploid?
gametes are haploid (half the normal number of chromosomes)
What egg or sperm?
they are germ cells, or haploid, as they have half the chromosomes as normal cells (in humans)
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.
Which cells in a living thing are haploid?
The gametes, also called sex cells or sperm and egg cells.
What is the result of meiosis 1 and 2?
Four haploid sperm or egg cells.
What does it mean when you say 'The sperm and egg are Hapliod cells'?
haploid means only one set of chromosomes that is one chromosomes is present only one time sperm and egg are haploid means that their nucleus have only one set of chromosomes remember that gametes are always HAPLOID therefore egg and sperm are haploid
Are human gametes haploid?
Yes, sperm and egg cells are n. They both have 23 chromosomes, which is the haploid count.
Are most of the cells in the human body called haploid or diploid?
All cells in the human body that are not gametes (sperm or egg cells) are diploid. Gametes are haploid.
