Human sperm cells and egg cells are haploid, each containing 23 chromosomes. haploid, each containing 46 chromosomes. diploid, each containing 23 chromosomes. diploid, each containing 46 chromosomes.

OpenStudy (aaronq):

you need 2 sex cells.. (1 sperm and 1 egg) to form a zygote that is diploid and has 46 chromosomes... can you figure out the answer?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

they have already halved their chromosomes during meiosis to meet with other gamete and when they combine they will have 46 ....after fertilisation so ho much should each have?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

diploid containing 23?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no haploid containing 23

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes now you get it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it was wrong ....

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Haploid is the term used when a cell has only one set of chromosomes. A normal eukaryote organism is composed of diploid cells, one set of chromosomes from each parent. However, after meiosis, the number of chromosomes in gametes is halved. That is the haploid condition.
