Question

During gamete formation meiosis occurs which results in a dash gamete Fill in the blanks

Answer 1

Answer:

During gamete formation meiosis occurs which results in a haploid gamete

Explanation:

We know that,

gametes are haploid in 99% cases but can become polyploid due to some mutations

Meiosis is called as reductional division

In meiosis, the diploid cell divides first into 2 diploid cells

Then, these 2 diploid cells each divide into 2 haploid cells that is, total 4 haploid cells

1 diploid cell $\rightarrow$ 2 diploid cells $\rightarrow$ 4 haploid cells

Therefore,

Parent cell of gametes are diploid and they undergo meiosis to form haploid gametes
