Question

A diploid organism that reproduces sexually produces gametes that are which of the following?

1) diploid
2) polyploid
3) triploid
4) aneuploid
5) E.) haploid

Answer 1

In sexual reproduction, diploid organisms produce haploid gametes, which unite during fertilization to form a diploid zygote. The zygote then undergoes meiosis to produce more haploid gametes.

Step-by-step explanation:

In sexual reproduction, a diploid organism produces haploid gametes.

These gametes contain half the number of chromosomes as body cells, allowing for the formation of a diploid zygote when they unite during fertilization.

The diploid zygote then undergoes meiosis to produce more haploid gametes, repeating the life cycle.
