(Greek, gamos = marriage) A specialized reproductive cell through which sexually reproducing parents pass chromosomes to their offspring; a sperm or an egg. ( More? Week 1 Notes)
Helpful?           0
Sex cells (spermatozoa or ova) that carry the genes donated by each parent.
Helpful?           0
Male and female reproductive cells: sperm and oocytes.
Helpful?           0
In armoured and unarmoured species a 1N cell that fuses with another 1N cell to produce a zygote (2N).
Helpful?           0
Reproductive cells (spermatozoa or oocytes) that contain half the normal chromosome complement.
Helpful?           0
Haploid reproductive cells that unite during sexual reproduction to form a diploid zygote. Male gametes are sperm and female gametes are eggs.
Helpful?           0
A sex cell; one of two cells that unite, forming a zygote.
Helpful?           0
Female and male reproductive cells – ova and sperm.
Helpful?           0
sex cells, sperm and oocytes, which contain one-half the genetic composition of somatic cells and are produced by meiosis.
Helpful?           0
cells that have undergone meiosis and have half the number of chromosomes as normal cells, they can now take part in fertilization
Helpful?           0
Sex cells that contain half of a person's genetic information. Male gametes are called sperm; female gametes are called eggs or "ova."
Helpful?           0
Haploid egg or sperm cells that unite during sexual reproduction to produce a diploid zygote.
Helpful?           0
Cells that contain only 1 set of chromosomes (regular rat cells contain two sets). Sperm cells and egg cells.
Helpful?           0
Sperm or ovum (egg); the cells of reproduction.
Helpful?           0
Reproductive cells which unite in pairs to produce zygotes.
Helpful?           0
Cells (sperm and egg) that carry the material and information for heredity from one generation to the next.
Helpful?           0
Haploid reproductive cells ( ovum and sperm). PICTURE
Helpful?           0
Reproductive cells (sperm and egg) that fuse to form a zygote.
Helpful?           0
the sex cells in human beings--sperm in men and ova in women. Each gamete cell has 23 chromosomes, half the number found in other body cells.
Helpful?           0
a reproductive cell that is haploid and can unite with another gamete to form the cell that develops into a new organism.
Helpful?           0
Reproductive cells, each containing a single set of chromosomes; ova (eggs) in the female and spermatozoa (sperm) in the male.
Helpful?           0
the sex cells of sexually reproducing organisms, i.e. spermatozoa and ova.
Helpful?           0
cells (eg. eggs and sperm) which fuse du ring sexual reproduction to form early developmental stage (zygote) of new individual
Helpful?           0
gametos] haploid cells which fuse to form a zygote in sexual reproduction, usually refers to an egg or sperm cell.
Helpful?           0
specialized sex cells in plants, such as eggs and pollen. Gametes are haploid. A male gamete and a female gamete fuse and give rise to a diploid zygote, which develops into a new individual.
Helpful?           0
reproductive cells; sperm and egg cells in animals.
Helpful?           0
The male or female reproductive cells -- the sperm or the egg
Helpful?           0
sex cells: eggs (ova) in women, sperm in men. Each gamete contains only one of each pair of genes. When two gametes combine to form a new organism, the pairs are brought together.
Helpful?           0
The male and female reproductive cells: spermatozoon and eggs.
Helpful?           0
Mature reproductive cells, usually haploid in chromosome number [ovum (egg) or sperm].
Helpful?           0
Sperm cells in males, egg cells in females, normally containing only twenty-three chromosomes.
Helpful?           0
sex cells, either sperm or ova, that fuse at fertilization; gametes carry a complete set of genetic information from each parent that is passed on to the child
