Gametes have haploid or diploid number of chromosomes?
|
Haploid
|
|
Diploid
|
|
Either A or B

|
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.
