A gamete (/ ˈ ɡ æ m iː t /; from Ancient Greek γαμετή (gametḗ) ' wife ', ultimately from Ancient Greek γάμος (gámos) ' marriage ') is a haploid cell that fuses with another haploid cell during fertilization in organisms that reproduce sexually. [1]

2017年4月27日 · Gametes are the physical carriers of genetic information from one generation to the next. They carry recombinant chromosomes produced at the end of meiosis. Often, species that reproduce sexually have two morphologically distinct types of individuals that produce different gametes.

2025年3月5日 · 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.

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.

2024年6月2日 · 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.

2021年7月23日 · What is a gamete? A gamete is the mature reproductive or sex cell that contains a haploid number of chromosomes (i.e., 50% of the genetic material or only one set of dissimilar chromosomes) and is capable of fusing with another haploid reproductive cell to …

2024年11月6日 · 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.
