what kind of cell results when a diploid and a haploid gamete fuse during fertilization?
The number of chromosomes in a single set is represented as n, which is also called the haploid number. In humans, n = 23. Haploid cells are a result of the process of meiosis, a type of cell division in which diploid cells divide to give rise to haploid germ cells. A haploid cell will merge with another haploid cell at fertilization. Diploid cell.
