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.

In humans what cells are diploid?

All body or somatic cells are diploid. Only sex cells are haploid.


Are sperm cells produced from a parent cell that is diploid or haploid?

Sperm cells are diploid. Since humans are diploid organisms, I'm pretty sure the sperm would be as well. - biology honor student


If the liver cell of an animal have 24 chromosomes how many chromosomes do its sperm cells have?

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.


Do the egg and sperm have a diploid chromosome number?

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).


Do eggs and sperms diploid chromosomes?

Gametes, such as eggs and sperm, are haploid, not diploid. Diploid would be somatic cells, such as skin cells or brain cells.


If an organism has a diploid or 2n number of 16 how many chromosomes do its sperm and egg cells contain?

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.


What is the number of diploid chromosomes locaed in the nucleus of all cells except for sperm and cell?

What are haploid and diploid cells?

Somatic (body) cells are diploid. Sex cells (gametes) are haploid.


When are human cells diploid?

All human somatic (body) cells are diploid. Only the gametes, sperm and egg cells, are haploid.


Is secondary spermatocyte haploid or diploid why?

secondary oocytes are haploid cells carrying 23 chromosomes. After fertilization by sperm a Zygote is formed with a diploid number 46.


Is sperm haploid or diploid?

haploid - they contain a single set of unpaired chromosomes
