Why is it important for gametes to be haploid?(1 point) Responses When gametes are made, the diploid cell splits twice, creating four haploid organisms. When gametes are made, the diploid cell splits twice, creating four haploid organisms. It is impossible for them to be diploid because reproduction does not result in diploidy. It is impossible for them to be diploid because reproduction does not result in diploidy. Neither parent has the full set of genetic information so each must contribute their half. Neither parent has the full set of genetic information so each must contribute their half. They fuse to form a diploid organism so that there is the expected number of chromosomes.

It is important for gametes to be haploid because when they fuse during fertilization, they create a diploid organism with the expected number of chromosomes. Each parent only contributes half of their genetic information, so that when combined, the diploid organism has a complete set of genetic material.
