<span>The shape of a cell dictates the function of that cell. This is more pertinent to animal cells that, unlike plant cells, do not have a rigid cell wall. A misshapen cell cannot properly perform its intended function. </span>
Gametes or sex cells (sperm and eggs) contain half the number of chromosomes that exist in autosomal cells; they are haploid. Therefore in the case where the diploid number of chromosomes is 52, the haploid number would be half of that, meaning 52/2 = 26.
