If gametes were diploid like somatic cells, how many chromosomes would the zygote contain? if gametes were diploid like somatic cells, how many chromosomes would the zygote contain? half the diploid number with no change in development twice the diploid number, and with every succeeding generation, the chromosome number would continue to double and normal development could not occur. triple the diploid number, and with every succeeding generation, the chromosome number would continue to triple and normal development would not occur. there is no relationship between gametes and somatic cells.

the contamination

we are putting to many trash.

the oldest known insects are believed to live around 400 millions ago as suggested by the fossil records.   some plants having woody stems also evolved during this time.

after the evolution of insects the first four legged species or the tetrapods evolved in shallow freshwater habitats from the intermediate species approximately 397 million years ago. the tetrapods went on conquering the land giving rise to amphibians, reptiles, mammals and birds.

the major split in tetrapods first occurred 340 million years ago branching off from amphibians.

363 million years ago when the carboniferous period began the insects started roaming on land and taking flights, following which the four limbed tetrapods adapted in the terrestrial habitat.
