- Gamete - Wikipedia
A gamete ( ˈɡæmiːt GAM-eet [a], reproductive cell, or sex cell, is a haploid cell that fuses with another haploid cell during fertilization in organisms that reproduce sexually [1][2] The name gamete was introduced by the German cytologist Eduard Strasburger in 1878
- Gamete | Definition, Formation, Examples, Facts | Britannica
Gamete, sex, or reproductive, cell containing only one set of dissimilar chromosomes, or half the genetic material necessary to form a complete organism (i e , haploid) Gametes are formed through meiosis, in which a germ cell undergoes two fissions, resulting in the production of four gametes
- GAMETE Definition Meaning - Merriam-Webster
The meaning of GAMETE is a mature male or female germ cell usually possessing a haploid chromosome set and capable of initiating formation of a new diploid individual by fusion with a gamete of the opposite sex
- Gamete – Types, Formation, Functions, Examples - Biology Notes Online
A gamete is a haploid reproductive cell, such as a sperm or egg, that carries half the genetic material of an organism and fuses with another gamete during fertilization to form a diploid zygote, initiating the development of a new organism
- Gamete Definition, Formation, and Types - ThoughtCo
Gametes are sex cells that combine during reproduction to form a new cell called a zygote Gametes form through meiosis, creating cells with one set of chromosomes, called haploid cells Oogamy is a type of reproduction where the female gamete is large and non-motile, like in humans
- Gamete - National Human Genome Research Institute
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
- Gamete: Definition, Formation And A Simple Explanation
A gamete is a specialized sex cell that contains half the number of chromosomes of the parent In humans, the female gamete is called an ovum or egg, while the male gamete is called the sperm
- gamete gametes | World Library of Science - Nature
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
