CHROMOSOMES AND CELL DIVISIONS

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Gametes have haploid or diploid number of chromosomes?
A
Haploid
B
Diploid
C
Either A or B
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -In humans, gametes are haploid cells that contain 23 chromosomes, each of which a one of a chromosome pair that exists in diplod cells. The number of chromosomes in a single set is represented as n, which is also called the haploid number.

Detailed explanation-2: -Gametes are always haploid, though the parent body may be haploid or diploid.

Detailed explanation-3: -The gametes take part in the process of fertilization and after fertilization from the zygote. The gametes are a result of meiosis hence they have a haploid number of chromosomes. Hence the gametes have a haploid number of chromosomes to maintain a constant number of chromosomes in a species.
