Answer:

Haploid

Explanation:

Gametes are mainly produced by the process of meiosis in the gamete mother cells. Meiosis reduces the chromosome number to the half in the gametes and produces haploid gametes. Haploid cells are the ones that have only one complete set of chromosomes. The fusion of haploid male gamete with a haploid female gamete restores the diploid chromosome number in the zygote.

For example, each of the human sperms and egg cells has 23 chromosomes. Somatic cells in humans have 46  chromosomes. The fusion of a sperm carrying 23 chromosomes with an egg having 23 chromosomes restores the 46 chromosomes in the zygote.

When an automatic battery is fully charged the sulfuric acid and water mixture will have a specific gravity of about
Archy [21]

the specific gravity of pure sulfuric acid is---------> approximately 1.835 g / cm3

the specific gravity of water is -------------------- >1.000 g / cm3.

 The electrolyte, that is, the dissolution of sulfuric acid in water, is usually at a rate of 36% acid, so that, in a fully charged element, we can deduce the electrolyte density, is 1.295 g / cm3. (see attached table)

The specific gravity is actually the difference in the weight of water compared to a specific fluid. It is measured with a hydrometer
