Detailed explanation-1: -During a process called fertilization, an egg cell and a sperm cell join together. The new cell that forms is called a(n) zygote.
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: -Mitosis occurs in somatic cells (i.e. all the cells in the body except gametes) and the end results are two genetically identical diploid daughter cells per parent cell. Meiosis occurs only in gametes (i.e. sex cells) and the end results are four genetically unique haploid daughter cells per parent cell.
