PATHOLOGY

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.

Detailed explanation-3: -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: -Also called gamete and sex cell.

Detailed explanation-5: -(3) Coitus; sexual intercourse. In biology, sex may refer to the gender (i.e. male or female variety). It may also pertain to the means by which gametes may be introduced to combine and mix the genes with the genes of the partner.
