Why is it important for gametes to be haploid?(1 point) Responses When gametes are made, the diploid cell splits twice, creating four haploid organisms. When gametes are made, the diploid cell splits twice, creating four haploid organisms. Neither parent has the full set of genetic information so each must contribute their half. Neither parent has the full set of genetic information so each must contribute their half. They fuse to form a diploid organism so that there is the expected number of chromosomes. They fuse to form a diploid organism so that there is the expected number of chromosomes. It is impossible for them to be diploid because reproduction does not result in diploidy.

The correct response is: They fuse to form a diploid organism so that there is the expected number of chromosomes.
This is important because gametes are haploid (having half the number of chromosomes) so that when they fuse during fertilization, they restore the diploid state in the resulting zygote, ensuring that the offspring has the correct number of chromosomes for the species.
