Reproductive haploids are also known as:

62% Answer Correctly

gametes

diploids

sperm

ovum


Solution

Reproductive (haploid) cells known as gametes have half as many (23) pairs of chromosomes as normal (diploid) cells. When the male gamete (sperm) combines with the female gamete (ovum) through meiosis to form a zygote, each gamete supplies half the chromosomes needed to form the normal diploid cells.


5

63% Answer Correctly
