egg
B
bone
C
heart
D
muscle
Explanation: 

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 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-3: -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. Sex cells are different from other cells in one special way: Put simply, they only have one half of the total amount of human genetic information.

Detailed explanation-4: -in males, these four cells are all sperm cells. in females, one of the cells is an egg cell while the other three are polar bodies (small cells that do not develop into eggs).
