Why is it important for gametes to be haploid?(1 point) Responses They fuse to form a diploid organism so that there is the expected number of chromosomes. They fuse to form a diploid organism so that there is the expected number of chromosomes. 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. 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. When gametes are made, the diploid cell splits twice, creating four haploid organisms.
The correct answer is: Neither parent has the full set of genetic information so each must contribute their half.
Gametes are reproductive cells that fuse during fertilization to form a diploid organism. Each parent contributes one gamete, and since gametes are haploid (containing half the number of chromosomes), it ensures that the offspring will have the expected number of chromosomes for their species. This is important for maintaining genetic stability and preventing an abnormal number of chromosomes in the offspring.
