Detailed explanation-1: -A gamete is a haploid sex cell that can join with another haploid sex cell to produce a diploid zygote. The main difference between a gamete and a zygote is the number of chromosomes in its nucleus. A gamete will have only half the chromosomes that a zygote does.
Detailed explanation-2: -Difference between Gamete and Zygote: Gametes are unfertilized reproductive cells. Zygote is a fertilised egg or a fertilised egg. As a product of meiosis, gametes are always haploid cells. Since zygote is the product of the fusion of the male and female gamete haploid, it is a diploid structure.
Detailed explanation-3: -The most obvious difference between Haploid and Diploid is the number of chromosome sets that are found in the nucleus. Haploid cells are those that have only a single set of chromosomes while diploid cells have two sets of chromosomes.
Detailed explanation-4: -Human gametes (egg and sperm cells), however, contain a single set of chromosomes and are said to be haploid.
Detailed explanation-5: -Hence, a Zygote is diploid. Each chromosome is present in two homologous, or comparable, copies in almost all human body cells. Due to the presence of both of its parents’ genes, the zygote is diploid (carrying two sets of chromosomes).
