A gamete is a sexual reproductive cell such as a sperm or an egg that must fuse with another gamete to produce a zygote, and eventually, a new organism. Gametes are typically haploid (1N), containing only half the number of the chromosomes needed to...
Cells produced by MEIOSIS (see CELL DIVISION), which are HAPLOID in nature, which are combined in sexual reproduction in order to produce one DIPLOID offspring. In mammals, these cells are sperm and eggs. FIONA M....
