Which of the following types of cells in humans are considered diploid?

• egg cell
• somatic
• sperm cell
• gamete

The correct number of chromosomes is maintained during fertilization in sexual reproduction by-

• meiosis, which reduces the chromosome number of the gamete by one half
• chromosomes being copied immediately after fertilization of the gametes
• mitosis, which maintains the number of chromosomes in the daughter cells
• half of the chromosomes being destroyed immediately after fertilization of the gametes.

In human females, how many haploid daughter cells are produced after successful meiotic division of one cell?

• 1
• 2
• 3
• 4

A plant's diploid cells normally contain 24 chromosomes. How many chromosomes will be present in the plant's haploid cells?

• 48
• 12
• 24
• 6
