Gametes are typically haploid cells, meaning they contain only one set of chromosomes. Therefore, gametes are not heterozygous, as they have only one allele for each gene.

Gametes produced in insects are haploid. This means they have half the number of chromosomes as diploid cells in the insect's body. When two haploid gametes (one from each parent) fuse during fertilization, they form a complete diploid zygote.
Literally millions of different gametes. That is why each individual is unique.
Haploid gametes form diploid zygotes when they combine during fertilization. The zygote then undergoes cell division to form a multicellular organism.

When a zygote is diploid it obtains two sets of chromosomes. Gametes contain one set of chromosomes. Therefore, 6 chromosomes would amount to 3 sets of gametes.

Fertilization of gametes produces a diploid cell called a zygote. This occurs when the haploid sperm and egg fuse to form a new organism with a full set of chromosomes.
Gametes have half the number of chromosomes - therefore if the diploid number is 22, the gametes would have 11 chromosomes.
Haploid gametes form diploid zygotes when they combine during fertilization. The zygote then undergoes cell division to form a multicellular organism.
A fern gametophyte consists of a small independent plant body that produces both male and female gametes. The male gametes are produced in antheridia, while the female gametes are produced in archegonia. Upon fertilization of the female gametes, a diploid sporophyte is produced.
Gametes are haploid cells, meaning they have half the number of chromosomes as diploid cells. Offspring resulting from the fusion of gametes are usually diploid, with the full set of chromosomes from each parent.
The main steps in the diploid life cycle include 1) fertilization, where haploid gametes fuse to form a diploid zygote, 2) mitosis, where the zygote undergoes cell division to form a multicellular diploid organism, 3) meiosis, where the diploid organism produces haploid gametes through reduction division, and 4) gamete fusion during fertilization to complete the cycle.
