Responses
Neither parent has the full set of genetic information so each must contribute their half.

It is impossible for them to be diploid because reproduction does not result in diploidy.

They fuse to form a diploid organism so that there is the expected number of chromosomes.

When gametes are made, the diploid cell splits twice, creating four haploid organisms.

Correct answer: "They fuse to form a diploid organism so that there is the expected number of chromosomes."
Why: Each gamete carries one set of chromosomes (haploid), so when two gametes fuse at fertilization the normal diploid chromosome number is restored. This preserves the species' chromosome number across generations.
