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: -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 (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 (ZYE-goat).

Detailed explanation-4: -But both sexes have gonads: In females the gonads are the ovaries, which make female gametes (eggs).

Detailed explanation-5: -The female gamete formed in an ovule is also known as the egg. The two cells, egg and sperm, fuse together during fertilisation. This resulting cell formed after fertilisation is called zygote.
