Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
A gamete is a cell that is able to begin growing into a new plant without joining another cell.
A
True
B
False
C
Either A or B
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -A new organism cannot develop from a gamete alone. Male and female gametes fuse to form a zygote. It is the zygote which develops into a new individual.

Detailed explanation-2: -Plants have gametes, which contain half the normal number of chromosomes for that plant species. Male gametes are found inside tiny pollen grains on the anthers of flowers. Female gametes are found in the ovules of a flower. Pollination is the process that brings these male and female gametes together.

Detailed explanation-3: -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.

Detailed explanation-4: -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-5: -parthenogenesis, a reproductive strategy that involves development of a female (rarely a male) gamete (sex cell) without fertilization. It occurs commonly among lower plants and invertebrate animals (particularly rotifers, aphids, ants, wasps, and bees) and rarely among higher vertebrates.
