NEET BIOLOGY

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: -Meiosis is a type of cell division that reduces the number of chromosomes in the parent cell by half and produces four gamete cells. This process is required to produce egg and sperm cells for sexual reproduction.

Detailed explanation-3: -In humans, cells that produce gametes are collectively called germ cells or sex cells. Germ cells, often called sex cells, are the haploid cells in humans responsible for the gametes’ production and maturation.

Detailed explanation-4: -During meiosis, each diploid cell undergoes two rounds of division to yield four haploid daughter cells-the gametes.
