Gametes are haploid cells, and each cell carries only one copy of each chromosome. These reproductive cells are produced through a type of cell division called meiosis. During meiosis, a diploid ...

(A) In mitosis, diploid cells replicate chromosomes during S phase ... which results in the formation of nonidentical haploid gametes. Note that the lengths of the cell-cycle stages are not ...

To produce diploid androgenotes, the same procedure is followed as for haploid androgenotes, but is followed by inhibition of the first mitotic division. The first mitotic division can be inhibited by ...

During fertilisation the haploid nucleus of a sperm cell and the haploid nucleus of an egg cell fuse together to form a diploid zygote.

During sexual reproduction, haploid gametes (i.e. eggs and sperm) are generated from diploid precursors through the specialized cell division of meiosis. Meiosis reduces ploidy by following one round ...

5. Giant multinucleate "pollen grains" are sometimes found as a result of the coalescence of contiguous pollen mother cells. 6. Fusion of somatic nuclei in pairs, and subsequent mitosis, frequently ...

However, in budding yeast, spores are produced within diploid cells. During this process, de novo membrane structures form within the cytosol, encapsulating the meiotic haploid nuclei to produce ...
