(1) When these haploid cells meet, fertilization occurs (1) This process results in a haploid cells (1) This haploid cell carries the male genetic information (1) This haploid cell carries the female genetic information (1) These carry the genetic information found in diploid cells (1) These cells carry one set of chromosomes, from either the female or the male parent (4) 9. This is a somatic cell, not a sex cell, it has 2 sets of chromosomes (1 set of chromosomes from each parent) (1) 10.
