English - English
A reproductive cell (male (sperm) or female (egg)) that has only half the usual number of chromosomes
A cell, such as a sperm or an egg, that is specialised for fertilisation Gametes have a single set of chromosomes
Gamete is the name for the two types of male and female cell that join together to make a new creature. a type of cell which joins with another cell, starting the development of a baby or other young creature (gameta, from gametes )
Mature male or female reproductive cells with a haploid set of chromosomes
In Zoöl
A reproductive cell (eggs in a woman and sperm in a man)
the similar sex cells of the lower thallophytes which unite by conjugation, forming a zygospore
Haploid reproductive body arising from meiosis, either the sperm (male) or egg (female)
A reproductive cell (haploid) which unites with another in fertilization to produce a zygote from which a new individual (genet) arises
Mature male or female reproductive cell (sperm or ovum) with a haploid set of chromosomes; in humans, sperm, and egg cells
Male and female reproductive cells are called gametes Each gamete contributes half of the genetic material needed to create a whole offspring The male gamete is represented by the pollen grain and the female gamete by the ovule
a mature sexual reproductive cell having a single set of unpaired chromosomes
{i} mature reproductive cell
A reproductive cell (male or female) that has only half the usual number of chromosomes
配子, Mature male or female reproductive cell (sperm or ovum) with a haploid set of chromosomes (23 for humans)
A sperm or egg Also known as 'germ cell'
The male or female reproductive cells-the sperm or the egg (ovum)
Mature male or female reproductive cell (sperm or ovum) with a haploid set of chromosomes (23 for humans) Source : Human Genome Project Information; PhRMA Genomics
The sexually reproducing cells of a fern
In eukaryotes, the haploid cell analogous to sperm and egg, which results from meiosis
In Bot
Mature reproductive cell with a haploid set of chromosomes
a sex cell, e g , a spermatozoan or egg cell, produced by sexually reproducing orgnaisms
1) biology a mature germ cell able to fuse with another in sexual reproduction 2) EDGE a copy made of a genotype for the purpose of recombining with other genotypes
gamete is most commonly used of the sexual cells of certain Protozoa, though also extended to the germ cells of higher forms
Sperm produced by the male organism or eggs produced by the female organism, which contain one haploid set of chromosomes, they unite to cause fertilization and a diploid zygote
= The sexual cell, male and female, which combine to start the development of a new baby Each gamete has one half of the total chromosomes needed for each new individual This is sexual reproduction See Meiosis
gamete designates esp
A mature, functional haploid cell whose nucleus fuses with that of another gamete of the opposite sex to form a zygote
A reproductive cell, either a sperm or an egg
A haploid reproductive cell
A sexual cell or germ cell; a conjugating cell which unites with another of like or unlike character to form a new individual
A single celled organism containing half the normal number of chromosomes of its parent species, it is the scientific term which describes both an individual sperm and an individual egg (the egg contains half the chromosomes of the mother, the sperm contains half the chromosomes of the father) When two gametes participate in fertilization, the resulting zygote contains a full complement of chromosomes of the parent species (resulting in a child that looks like you but that acts like your spouse!)
One of the differentiated cells that is a product of meiosis In animals, sperm or egg cells
The gametes of higher plants are of two sorts, sperm (male) and egg (female); their union is called fertilization, and the resulting zygote an oöspore
Mature male or female reproductive cell (sperm or ovum) with a haploid set of chromosomes (23 for humans)
A haploid germ cell (e g : a spermatozoon or ovum) that fuses with another germ cell during fertilisation
gamete intrafallopian transfer
A technique of assisted reproduction in which eggs and sperm are inserted directly into a woman's fallopian tubes, where fertilization may occur
