Answer:

3. haploid; diploid

Explanation:

Sperm is male gamete or often called male reproductive cell. During the process of spermatogenesis, reductional division (meiosis) occurs in the spermatocytes and spermatids are formed which further mature to sperms. Thus as a result of meiosis, their chromosome number is reduced to half and thus they become haploid cells. During oogensis, eggs are also formed as a result of meiosis which reduces the chromosome number and so eggs are also haploid.

When during fertilization, these two haploid nucleus of these cells fuse together, they form a diploid zygote.

How are utah and mexican praire dogs genes alike
Usimov [2.4K]

Answer:

In terms of genetic variation, allelic richness (A) estimated through rarefaction resulted in 1.6–3.0 mean alleles per colony, and no private alleles were found. Mean genetic diversity (HE) was 0.525 (SD = 0.11), with values ranging from 0.276 (SD = 0.25) to 0.618 (SD = 0.09).

Explanation:

Utah prairie dog (Cynomys parvidens), and Mexican prairie dog (Cynomys mexicanus)—all of which may be considered rare (Hoogland 2006a). After 200 years of shootings, poisonings, conversion of habitat, and more recently plague, prairie dog numbers are a fraction of what they once were. Two of the species (Utah and Mexican) are listed as threatened or endangered under the Endangered Species Act (ESA).
