Haploid cells are
a) mutated cells with missing chromosomes.
b) fused cells with double the chromosome number.
c) sex cells with half the original chromosome number.
d) sex cells with the original chromosome number as the parent cell.

The correct option is -

C) sex cells with half the original chromosome number.



Explanation:

Sex cells are the reproductive cells, which are also known as gametes (such as eggs and sperms) and are produced through meiosis.

Meiosis is a type of cell division that occurs during gamete formation, specifically in sexually reproducing organisms.

It is also called reductional division as it produces haploid sex cells, which possess half the number of original chromosomes.

Thus, option C) is the right answer.

emerging idea only occurs as a raw idea that could appear out of nowhere. meanwhile, to reach scientific consensus , that idea must be structured and tested over and over again through various experiments. the scientific consensus transforms the raw idea into idea that is more reliable through the process of scientific elimination.
