Why is it important for gametes to be haploid?(1 point)
Responses
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.
It is impossible for them to be diploid because reproduction does not result in diploidy.
It is impossible for them to be diploid because reproduction does not result in diploidy.
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.
They fuse to form a diploid organism so that there is the expected number of chromosomes.

The correct response is:
**They fuse to form a diploid organism so that there is the expected number of chromosomes.**
This answer highlights the importance of gametes being haploid; when two haploid gametes (one from each parent) fuse during fertilization, they create a diploid zygote that has the full set of chromosomes expected for that organism. This is crucial for maintaining the species' chromosome number through generations.
