Question

Egg cells are diploid.
Options
A True
B False
Correct Answer
C
D
Correct Answer

Option B is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

This statement is false. Egg cells (ova) are gametes and are haploid (n). They contain one complete set of chromosomes (23 in humans). When a haploid sperm fertilizes a haploid egg, the resulting zygote is diploid (2n).

Hint

Do gametes (sperm and egg) have a full set (diploid) or half set (haploid) of chromosomes?
