Detailed explanation-1: -Gametes are haploid cells, and each cell carries only one copy of each chromosome. These reproductive cells are produced through a type of cell division called meiosis.

Detailed explanation-2: -Humans are diploid, and most of the body’s cells contain 23 chromosomes pairs. Human gametes (egg and sperm cells), however, contain a single set of chromosomes and are said to be haploid.

Detailed explanation-3: -In humans, gametes are haploid cells that contain 23 chromosomes, each of which a one of a chromosome pair that exists in diplod cells.

Detailed explanation-4: -The nuclei re-form, and new nuclear membranes develop. This process results in four new cells, or gametes. Each gamete contains only one chromosome from each homologous pair. This makes the cell haploid, meaning that it has half the chromosome number of the original diploid cell.

Detailed explanation-5: -In animals, female gametes are called ova or egg cells, and male gametes are called sperm. Ova and sperm are haploid cells, with each cell carrying only one copy of each chromosome.
