Question

how are gametes different from regular body cells in their chromosomes and how they form? (select the two correct answers ) (1 point) gametes are haploid and have a single set of chromosomes gametes exist in matching pairs within a single cell. gametes form through the special process of meiosis. gametes have chromosomes identical to the parent cell. gametes are diploid and have two sets of chromosomes gametes form through the common process of mitosis

Explanation:

Gametes are reproductive cells. Body cells are diploid (have two sets of chromosomes), while gametes are haploid (have one set). Gametes form via meiosis (a special cell - division process), not mitosis (which is for body - cell growth and repair). Body cells have chromosomes in pairs, and gametes do not. Also, gametes have half the genetic material of the parent cell (due to meiosis), not identical chromosomes.

Answer:

• Gametes are haploid and have a single set of chromosomes.
• Gametes form through the special process of meiosis.
