Gametes are haploid and each contain only one chromosome. When a male and female haploid gamete unite , they create a diploid zygote.
No, sperms and eggs are haploid, so that they may combine to form a diploid number of chromosomes.
The first thing one should know is that sperms are gametes resulting from meiotic cell division.Hence sperm cells are haploid with n number of chromosomes contained in each.
yes
diploid foolall are diploid except sperms and eggs
Body cells, like liver cells, are diploid. This means they have pairs of chromosomes. In this example the diploid number of chromosomes is 24. In sperm cells (or egg cells) the number of chromosomes is halved. This is described as the haploidnumber. In this example the haploid number would be 24/2 = 12. So the number of chromosomes in the sperm cells would be 12.
Yes they do. In humans, sperm and egg cells will contain 23 chromosomes. When a sperm and egg fuse to form a zygote, the diploid number of chromosomes is restored (46 or 23 pairs).
Somatic (body) cells are diploid. Sex cells (gametes) are haploid.
Four sperm cells are produced in males when one diploid cell enters gametogenesis.

All body or somatic cells are diploid. Only sex cells are haploid.
Sperm cells are diploid. Since humans are diploid organisms, I'm pretty sure the sperm would be as well. - biology honor student

Gametes, such as eggs and sperm, are haploid, not diploid. Diploid would be somatic cells, such as skin cells or brain cells.
Diploid cells contain twice the number of chromosomes as haploid cells. Sex cells (sperm and egg) are haploids. Therefore, if the diploid number is 16, sperm and egg cells must contain 8 each.

Somatic (body) cells are diploid. Sex cells (gametes) are haploid.
All human somatic (body) cells are diploid. Only the gametes, sperm and egg cells, are haploid.
secondary oocytes are haploid cells carrying 23 chromosomes. After fertilization by sperm a Zygote is formed with a diploid number 46.
haploid - they contain a single set of unpaired chromosomes
