Gametes are sex cells such as sperm and egg so they MUST be haploid because when they combine to make a baby the baby has one full set of chromosomes. not 2.

Is sperm haploid or diploid?
haploid - they contain a single set of unpaired chromosomes
Are reproductive cells haploid cells?
Assuming that this is referring to gametes, so sperm and eggs, yes, reproductive cells are haploid.
Are gametes haploid or diploid?
gametes are haploid (half the normal number of chromosomes)
In humans what cells are diploid?
All body or somatic cells are diploid. Only sex cells are haploid.
Is a sperm cell a haploid cell?
Sperm cells are haploid as they contain half the original starting material from the parent cell.
Is sperm haploid or diploid?
haploid - they contain a single set of unpaired chromosomes
What stages of the human life cycle depicted here are haploid?
Eggs and sperm are haploid.
Where would you locate haploid cells in a cat?
Presumably a cat's reproductive cells (eggs, sperm) would be haploid.
What haploid reproductive cell is like sperm or eggs?
I think you are referring to a gamete, which can be a sperm cell or an egg cell.
Gametes are normally what?
sex cells, like sperm or eggs in humans. They are normally haploid.
What are reproductive haploid cells found in a organisim known as?
Gametes, or else eggs/sperm.

Assuming that this is referring to gametes, so sperm and eggs, yes, reproductive cells are haploid.
Which cells in your bodies are haploid?
only your gametes (eggs if you're a woman and sperm if you're a man)
What is it called when one diploid cell becomes four haploid cells?
Meiosis. The end products of meiosis (the four haploid cells) are gametes (sperm and eggs).
Eggs and sperm are a type of these?
Sex cells Also haploid cells with 1/2 the genes of an individual.
Do eggs and sperms diploid chromosomes?
Gametes, such as eggs and sperm, are haploid, not diploid. Diploid would be somatic cells, such as skin cells or brain cells.
Is Sperm cell a haploid or diploid?
