Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The formation of sex cells is a central part of human reproduction: In fertilization, an egg cell and a sperm cell combine. These sex cells are also called reproductive cells or gametes.
Detailed explanation-2: -The name of sex cells (other than gametes) is known as germ cells.
Detailed explanation-3: -The process in which two gametes unite is called fertilization. The fertilized cell that results is referred to as a zygote. A zygote is a diploid (or 2N) cell, which means it contains two copies of each chromosome. Thus, it has twice the number of chromosomes as a gamete.
