If a Sperm Cell Combines with an Egg Cell,then the Result

Question

If a sperm cell combines with an egg cell,then the result is a
A) duplicated chromosome.
B) gamete.
C) gametophyte.
D) haploid cell.
E) diploid cell.

Accepted Answer

When a sperm cell combines with an egg cell, they both contribute their sets of chromosomes, resulting in a newly formed organism that has a complete set of chromosomes from each parent. This means that the resulting cell is diploid, with two complete sets of chromosomes, one from the sperm cell and one from the egg cell. Therefore, the correct answer is E) diploid cell.
