Answer 2

The difference between the human male gamete and female gamete is as follows:-

• A human male gamete is the male reproductive organ that modulates with the female gamete for the production of a zygote. And a female gamete is the female reproductive organ that modulates with the male gamete and forms a zygote.
• The female gamete is produced by spermatogenesis and the female gamete is produced by oogenesis.
• The male gamete is smaller than the female gamete and the female gamete is larger than the male gamete. The male gamete is produced in large numbers for fertilization and only one gamete is produced every month in females.
