Detailed explanation-1: -These sex cells are also called reproductive cells or gametes. Sperm cells are produced in men’s testicles and egg cells are produced in women’s ovaries.
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. During fertilization, a sperm and ovum unite to form a new diploid organism.
Detailed explanation-3: -In the human reproductive process, two kinds of sex cells, or gametes (pronounced: GAH-meetz), are involved. The male gamete, or sperm, and the female gamete, the egg or ovum, meet in the female’s reproductive system. When sperm fertilizes (meets) an egg, this fertilized egg is called a zygote (pronounced: ZYE-goat).
Detailed explanation-4: -Answer: Gametes are also called sex cells.
Detailed explanation-5: -The cells from each parent that combine to form the zygote are called gametes. In humans, the male gamete is called sperm, and the female gamete is called an egg.
