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.

It is impossible for them to be diploid because reproduction does not result in diploidy.

All of the above answers are correct. Gametes need to be haploid because when they fuse during fertilization, they combine their genetic material to form a diploid organism with the expected number of chromosomes. Each parent contributes their half of the genetic information, so the resulting organism has a complete set of chromosomes. Additionally, during the process of gamete formation, the diploid cell divides twice to create four haploid cells, ensuring the correct number of chromosomes in the gametes. Lastly, it is impossible for gametes to be diploid because reproduction does not result in the doubling of chromosomes.
