Respuesta :

If the gametes will be diploid then on fusing the resulting embryo would have double the amount of DNA it should have. The correct option is B.

What are gametes?

A gamete is an animal or plant procreative cell. Female gametes are known as ova or egg cells in animals, while male gametes are known as sperm.

Ova and sperm are haploid cells, with only one copy of each chromosome in each cell. A sperm and an ovum combine during fertilization to form a new diploid organism.

As in case of diploid gamete, the embryo will have double amount of DNA than normal and will create defect.

Thus, the correct option is B.
