A gamete (from Ancient Greek Î³Î±Î¼ÎµÏÎ® gamete from gamein to marry) is a cell that fuses with another cell during fertilization (conception) in organisms that sexually reproduce.
In animals, gametes are produced in male and female gonads. Sperm are motile and have a long, tail-like projection called a flagellum. Ova however, are non-motile and relatively large in comparison to the male gamete. Gametes are produced by a type of cell division called meiosis.They are haploid, meaning that they contain only one set of chromosomes. When the haploid male and female gametes unite in a process called fertilization, they form what is called a zygote.The zygote is diploid and contains two sets of chromosomes.efinition: Gametes are reproductive cells (sex cells) that unite during sexual reproduction to form a new cell called a zygote. Male gametes are sperm and female gametes are ova (eggs). In seed bearing plants, p ollen is the male sperm producing gametophyte.
