Solution
The correct answer is: sex cell, gamete, haploid cell.
Explanation:
-
Sex cell/Gamete: These are the cells used during sexual reproduction to produce a new individual organism or zygote. They are haploid, meaning they have one set of chromosomes.
-
Haploid cell: This is a cell that contains one complete set of chromosomes. The term is most often used to refer to the sex cells or gametes (i.e., the egg and sperm), which are haploid.
-
Diploid cells, body cells, and somatic cells are not correct answers because they are 2n, meaning they contain two sets of chromosomes—one from each parent.
