What are some examples of a gamete?

Gametes are the cells used during sexual reproduction to produce a new individual organism or zygote. The male gamete, sperm, is a smaller, mobile cell that meets up with the much larger and less mobile female gamete, egg or ova. Both sperm and egg are only haploid cells. They only carry half of the chromosomes needed.

They are cells used for sexual reproduction.

They are also referred to as sex cells. Female gametes are called ova or egg cells, and male gametes are called sperm.
