Answer:

diploid; haploid

Explanation:

Diploid: containing two complete sets of chromosomes, one from each parent (pairs)

Haploid: having a single set of unpaired chromosomes

The correct answer is diploid and haploid.

Most human cells are diploid meaning they come in matching pairs of chromosomes (one set from each parent). Gametes are haploid, meaning they only have one set of chromosomes.

Why do gametes only have one set of chromosomes?

Gametes are reproductive cells, such as sperm and egg. As gametes are produced, the number of chromosomes must be reduced by half. The zygote must contain genetic information from the mother and from the father, so the gametes must contain half of the chromosomes found in normal body cells.
