NEET BIOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -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-3: -Gametes are an organism’s reproductive cells. 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.

Detailed explanation-4: -Somatic cells are body cells and gametes are our sex cells, or sperm and eggs. Somatic cells have a diploid genome. This means that they get two copies of each chromosome, one from mom and one from dad. Gametes on the other hand are formed through a process called meiosis, which creates a haploid genome.

Detailed explanation-5: -Humans are diploid, and most of the body’s cells contain 23 chromosomes pairs. Human gametes (egg and sperm cells), however, contain a single set of chromosomes and are said to be haploid.
