A member asked:
I am informed about ovarian/testicular cancer, but this is about the haploid gametes themselves: can they start dividing uncontrolaby?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
They do not: They are postmitotic. The tumors that arise from the diploid gametes are semitones and dysgerminoma and they are diploid.
