Detailed explanation-1: -Gametes are an organism’s reproductive cells. They are also referred to as sex cells. Female gametes are called ova or egg cells, and male gametes are called sperm.

Detailed explanation-2: -Gametes are the reproductive cells of an organism. They’re also known as sex cells. Sperm refers to male gametes, whilst ova or egg cells refers to female gametes. Gametes are haploid cells, meaning they have only one copy of each chromosome.

Detailed explanation-3: -Sexually reproducing organisms are diploid (having two sets of chromosomes, one from each parent). In humans, only the egg and sperm cells are haploid.

Detailed explanation-4: -Humans are diploid, and most of the body’s cells contain 23 chromosomes pairs. Human gametes (egg and sperm cells), however, contain a single set of chromosomes and are said to be haploid.

Detailed explanation-5: -Plants have gametes, which contain half the normal number of chromosomes for that plant species. Male gametes are found inside tiny pollen grains on the anthers of flowers. Female gametes are found in the ovules of a flower.
