Detailed explanation-1: -They are also referred to as sex cells. Female gametes are called ova or egg cells, and male gametes are called sperm. Gametes are haploid cells, and each cell carries only one copy of each chromosome. These reproductive cells are produced through a type of cell division called meiosis.

Detailed explanation-2: -Somatic cells-that is, the cells in your body that aren’t sex cells-do this via a process called mitosis. New sex cells, or gametes, are produced via a different process, called meiosis.
