Detailed explanation-1: -In short a gamete is an egg cell (female gamete) or a sperm (male gamete). In animals, ova mature in the ovaries of females and sperm develop in the testes of males. During fertilization, a spermatozoon and ovum unite to form a new diploid organism.

Detailed explanation-2: -A gamete is a reproductive cell of an animal or plant. In animals, female gametes are called ova or egg cells, and male gametes are called sperm. Ova and sperm are haploid cells, with each cell carrying only one copy of each chromosome.

Detailed explanation-3: -Male gametes in humans is called sperms. Sperms are produced by testes. Sperms fuse with egg produced by ovaries to form a zygote.

Detailed explanation-4: -A male gamete is called sperm (spermatozoa) and is a haploid cell formed through Spermatogenesis.

Detailed explanation-5: -The sperm and egg are specialised cells called gametes and are unique in comparison to most of the other cells in the body, as they only contain half the usual number of chromosomes.
