A gamete is a haploid cell, which you have asked about before. Having only half of the number of chromosomes than its parent cell had, when fertilization (egg and sperm coming together) occurs, the nuber of chromosomes in both the egg and the sperm gets added together, giving the correct number of chromosomes that correspond to the organism.

A Gamete is either the egg or the sperm in human fertilization. It's the vehicle for one half of the genetic code to produce a complete set.
Yes, two are critical in fertillization.

A gamete is a sex cell; either an egg or sperm. You need a sperm from the male to fertilize the female's egg, and then after implantation, a baby grows!

A gamet is a reproductive cell.It carries the chromosomes to lay down of the future characters of the organism.

gamete is formed when male sex cell (sperm) and female sex cell (ovum) fuse together and and it sure does play an important role in fertilisation because without this gamete an individual cannot be born. Hope this helps and have a good day.

a gamete is a sex cell, (sperm or egg) and two are needed to produce offspring. (the sperm fertilises the egg)

yeah, i believe it to be a name for the sperm and the ovaries.
