Answer 2

What do you think it is? @segal0919

Answer 3

the second one @Tom_Boy_Rebel

Answer 4

It's actually c because gametes ( sex cells such as sperm and eggs) include only half of the 46 chromosomes from the original diploid cell; that's why they're haploid.

Answer 5

Hope that helped! :D @segal0919

Answer 6

Can you go a little deeper @Tom_Boy_Rebel

Sure.. so diploid cells are basically meaning double chromosome.

Answer 8

Now gametes which are sex cells only have half of a chromosome which is called haploid cells.

Answer 9

okay
