Haploid cells join to form an organism that has double the number of chromosomes as the parent.
Haploid cells join to form an organism that is genetically identical to the parent.

Answer 1

Answer:

b) Haploid cell join to form an organism that has a complete set of chromosome

Answer 2

Haploid cells join to form an organism that has a complete set of chromosomes is correctly associated with meiosis.

• Meiosis is the reductional division that occurs in gametes. Meiosis is responsible for variation in features due to the occurence of recombination.
• The daughter cells formed are haploid in comparison to parent cells.
• Another type of cell division is mitosis which is equational division. It takes place in somatic cells.
