Question

for sexual reproduction, males produce gametes called sperm, while females produce gametes called eggs. a sperm cell fuses with an egg cell in a process called fertilization. fertilization results in a cell called a zygote, which can develop into a new, genetically unique individual.
during fertilization, an egg cell and a sperm cell combine to form a zygote.
complete the paragraph.
sex cells, also known as , include female and male . these cells are considered haploid because they contain as many chromosomes as a typical body cell. sex cells combine during fertilization to form , which are considered diploid because they contain of chromosomes.

Explanation:

The terms come from the definition of sexual reproductive cells and their chromosome counts. Gametes are the general term for sex cells; eggs are female gametes, sperm are male gametes. Haploid cells have half the chromosome number of body cells, and fertilization forms a zygote, which is diploid with a full set (two sets) of chromosomes.

Answer:

Sex cells, also known as gametes, include female eggs and male sperm. These cells are considered haploid because they contain half as many chromosomes as a typical body cell. Sex cells combine during fertilization to form zygotes, which are considered diploid because they contain two full sets of chromosomes.
