Question

Why is it important for gametes to be haploid? (1 point)
o When gametes are made, the diploid cell splits twice, creating four haploid organisms.
o They fuse to form a diploid organism so that there is the expected number of chromosomes.
O It is impossible for them to be diploid because reproduction does not result in diploidy.
O Neither parent has the full set of genetic information so each must contribute their half.

Answer 1

Gametes are regarded as an organisms reproductive sex cells. There are two forms: the male gametes (sperm cell) and female gamete (egg cell).

It is important for gametes to be haploid as they fuse to form a diploid organism so that there is the expected number of chromosomes (option B).

• Before fertilization, the sex cell has to be haploid.
• This is because when fertilization occurs the male and female gametes come together to give rise to a zygote which must be diploid.
• This is the norm for all body cells.
• If one of the cells is not haploid lead to a genetic condition which might be detrimental to the organism and also lead to death.
