Answer:

Explanation:

Haploid Cells

Haploid cells contain only one set of chromosomes. Gametes or sex cells are the most common type of haploid cells. They are produced by meiosis and are genetically diverse. When the haploid cells from male and female fuse together during fertilization, it forms a diploid cell.

Diploid Cells

These cells have two sets of chromosomes. It is formed by the fusion of two haploid cells. Most mammals are diploid, i.e., they have two homologous copies of each chromosome in the cells. They are produced by mitosis. The somatic cells in humans are diploid cells.

Answer:

<em><u>Haploid refers to the presence of a single set of chromosomes in an organism's cells. Sexually reproducing organisms are diploid (having two sets of chromosomes, one from each parent). In humans, only the egg and sperm cells are haploid.</u></em>

ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Answer:

C) The amount of A is always equivalent to T, and C to G

Explanation:

Chargaff's rule was given by the Austrian chemist, Erwin Chargaff in late 1940s. It explains the composition of the four bases i.e. Adenine(A),  Guanine(G), Thymine(T) and Cytosine(C) in a DNA molecule. According to it, purine and pyrimidine bases are always found in 1:1 ratio in a DNA molecule. A and G are purine and T and C are pyrimidine bases and a purine always forms a pair with pyrimidine base hence the amount of A will always be equal to T and amount of G will always be equal to C. This rule forms the basis for the Watson and Crick pairs in DNA double helix model.
