hey dear
Agamete(fromAncient Greekγαμετήgametefrom gamein "to marry"[1]) is ahaploidcellthat fuses with another haploid cell duringfertilization(conception) inorganismsthatsexually reproduce. In species that produce twomorphologicallydistinct types of gametes, and in which each individual produces only one type, afemaleis any individual that produces the larger type of gamete—called anovum(or egg)—and amaleproduces the smallertadpole-like type—called asperm. In short a gamete is an egg(female gamete) or a sperm (male gamete). This is an example ofanisogamyorheterogamy, the condition in which females and males produce gametes of different sizes (this is the case in humans; the human ovum has approximately 100,000 times the volume of a single human sperm cell[2][3]). In contrast,isogamyis the state of gametes from both sexes being the same size and shape, and given arbitrary designators formating type. The name gamete was introduced by theAustrianbiologistGregor Mendel. Gametes carry half thegenetic informationof an individual, oneploidyof each type, and are created throughmeiosis.
