check my work? Which explanation below best describes why meiosis produces haploid cells? Egg and sperm cells have to have half the number of chromosomes as in body cells so when they combine to form a zygote, the zygote is diploid and has the correct number of chromosomes<< Egg and sperm cells have to have half the number of chromosomes so they stay small enough to fit in the womb. Egg and sperm cells are haploid to have double the number of chromosomes as a body cell. Egg and sperm cells go through mitosis twice.

Vocaloid:
