Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Gametes are which of these ____
A
the haploid cells that are the result of meiosis
B
body cells
C
fertilized eggs
D
these are known as stem cells
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Gametes contain half the chromosomes contained in normal diploid cells of the body, which are also known as somatic cells. Haploid gametes are produced during meiosis, which is a type of cell division that reduces the number of chromosomes in a parent diploid cell by half.

Detailed explanation-2: -Thus, the products of meiosis II are four haploid cells that contain a single copy of each chromosome. In mammals, the number of viable gametes obtained from meiosis differs between males and females. In males, four haploid spermatids of similar size are produced from each spermatogonium.

Detailed explanation-3: -Gametes, or reproductive cells, are produced in a special kind of cell division called meiosis. During this process the normal number of the cell’s chromosomes is reduced by half. Each gamete ends up with a copy of one chromosome from each pair.
