Question

in humans, gametes are ________, while somatic cells are ________
multiple choice
diploid, diploid
haploid, diploid
haploid, haploid
haploid, triploid

Explanation:

Gametes (sperm and egg) are formed through meiosis, which halves the chromosome number, making them haploid (\(n\)). Somatic cells (body cells) are formed through mitosis, maintaining the full chromosome number, so they are diploid (\(2n\)).

Answer:

haploid, diploid
