Question

whether the gametes are diploid or haploid why

Answer 1

Human beings have diploidsomatic cells, with 46 chromosomes. When a somatic human cell perform meiosis, it produces haploid cells which are monoploid. Human gametes are haploidand monoploid.

Answer 2

Answer :

Gametes are haploid.

This is because when the male gamete and the female gamete fuse together during the process of fertilization, they give rise to a diploid cell or zygote that contains two pairs of chromosomes. One set of chromosomes is from the male while the other set of chromosomes is from the female.

According to Wikipedia, 'A gamete (/ˈɡæmiːt/; from Ancient Greek γαμετή gamete from gamein "to marry" is a haploid cell that fuses with another haploid cell during fertilization (conception) in organisms that sexually reproduce. In species that produce two morphologically distinct types of gametes, and in which each individual produces only one type, a female is any individual that produces the larger type of gamete—called an ovum (or egg)—and a male produces the smaller tadpole-like type—called a sperm. In short a gamete is an egg (female gamete) or a sperm (male gamete). The name gamete was introduced by the Austrian biologist Gregor Mendel. Gametes carry half the genetic information of an individual, one ploidy of each type, and are created through meiosis.'
