Ans.

Gametes are defined as male or female germ cells, which fuse with gamete of opposite sex to form a zygote. Gametes are produced by the process of meiosis and thus, each gamete is haploid, having half the number of chromosomes as present in parent cell or in a normal cell.  

When male and female gametes fuse together (sperm and egg, respectively), it leads to formation of zygote. As each gamete is haploid in nature, fusion of gametes results in formation of zygote having two sets of chromosomes (one from each gamete), hence, zygote is considered as diploid in nature.  

Thus, the correct word to complete the sentence is 'diploid.'

Mrac [35]

The small, almond-shaped organs of the female reproductive system, suspended by ligaments in the upper lateral portion of the pelvic cavity are known as ovaries.

Ovaries are oval-shaped so are also termed almond-shaped organs and are present on the sides of the uterus in females. In females, the processes of pregnancy and ovulation which is also termed menstruation are controlled by the hormones that are made by ovaries. These hormones include estrogen and progesterone. Another major function of the ovary is that it releases the female gametes known as eggs during the menstrual cycle.

The ovaries are attached to two types of ligaments which are the ovarian ligament and suspensory ligament. Ovaries are connected to the womb by the ovarian ligament while the suspensory ligaments of the ovary contain the ovarian vessels and nerves.
