Detailed explanation-1: -Human gametes are haploid(n) as they are formed by meiosis during the process of gametogenesis. Haploid gametes lead to the fusion of male and female gametes, by which a diploid zygote is formed and the number of chromosomes remains the same in the progeny.

Detailed explanation-2: -Haploid describes a cell that contains a single set of chromosomes. The term haploid can also refer to the number of chromosomes in egg or sperm cells, which are also called gametes. 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-3: -A gamete is a reproductive cell of an animal or plant. 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.

Detailed explanation-4: -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-5: -Gametes are formed independently either from diploid or haploid parents. Gametes are always haploid.
