Answer:

Haploid cells join to form an organism that has a complete set of chromosomes is the correct answer.

Explanation:

In the fertilization process two haploid cells sperm fuse with an egg which results in the formation of a diploid cell.

meiosis produces haploid cells rather than diploid cells because in Meiosis the chromosome number gets reduced.

In the Meiosis process the number of chromosomes in the daughter cells gets reduced to half than of the parent cell and this process results in the formation of four haploid daughter cells

Thus Haploid cells join to form an organism that has a complete set of chromosomes is the correct answer.

Which respiratory disease in which sufferers are often called "pink puffers," is characterized by enlarged alveoli, lung inflamm
vitfil [10]
The correct answer is emphysema.
This respiratory disease occurs when alveoli get enlarged, and thus cause chronic lung inflammation and later on lung fibrosis as well. This person then finds it extremely hard to breathe properly, as airways tend to collapse during expiration.
