Answer:

B

Explanation:

Gametes are haploid that contains 1 set of chromosomes.

To form a zygote, fertilisation occurs which causes the fusion of a sperm and an egg to form a diploid cell.

In each gamete, they contain 50 percent of the genetic material as compared to the zygote, fusing to form a zygote with 100 percent DNA after fertilisation.
