Detailed explanation-1: -Gametes contain half the chromosomes contained in normal diploid cells of the body, which are also known as somatic cells. Haploid gametes are produced during meiosis, which is a type of cell division that reduces the number of chromosomes in a parent diploid cell by half.

Detailed explanation-2: -Definition. 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: -The body cells contain a complete set of chromosomes and are diploid in nature. The gamete cells are haploid. They contain a single set of chromosomes or are haploid. Each set of chromosomes is contributed from each parent to form a diploid zygote.

Detailed explanation-4: -in males, these four cells are all sperm cells. in females, one of the cells is an egg cell while the other three are polar bodies (small cells that do not develop into eggs).
