Question

which term refers to a reproductive cell that contains one - half of the chromosomes required to produce an offspring?
a android
b gamete
c diploid
d gynecoid

Explanation:

• Android: Refers to a human - like robot, not a reproductive cell.
• Gamete: Reproductive cells (sperm and egg) are haploid, containing half the number of chromosomes of somatic cells. When two gametes fuse during fertilization, they form a diploid zygote.
• Diploid: Cells with two sets of chromosomes (somatic cells in most organisms), not half.
• Gynecoid: Refers to a female - like skeletal structure (in anthropology, often used to describe pelvis shape), not a reproductive cell.

Answer:

B. gamete
