NEET BIOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Gametes are produced from reproductive cells, so they are haploid. Gametes contain half the number of chromosomes of their parent cell.

Detailed explanation-2: -Since gametes are haploid, this means they contain half of the total number of chromosomes in a somatic cell. In humans, this means that each gamete contains 23 chromosomes, as somatic cells (cells of the body other than gametes) contain 46 (23 pairs).

Detailed explanation-3: -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-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: -A gamete is a reproductive cell of an animal or plant. Gametes (germ cells) are produced in the gonads. 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.
