The gametes are formed in the gonads, which also have hormonal functions. A gamete is a mature haploid male or female germ cell that is able to unite with another of the opposite sex in sexual reproduction to form a zygote.

Is meiosis cell division?
Yes, meiosis is a type of cell division. But it is also called a reduction division. Instead of two daughter cells four cells are produced that have half the number of chromosomes. These cells are called gametes or sex cells.
The fusion of male gamete cells with female gamete cells are called what?
The process of gamete fusion is called fertilization. This process forms a diploid cell also known as a zygote.
What kind of cells is produced during meiosis in the ovary?
germ cells
Incomplete cells are called gametes the female gamete is called the?
ovum
What are characteristics of mitosis and not meiosis?
In mitosis, cell division creates two diploid cells, while in meiosis, cell division creates two haploid cells. In metaphase of mitosis, a pair of chromosomes meet in the middle of the cell. during anaphase, the pair seperates. In meiosis, the chromosomes line up individualy in metaphase and separate in anaphase. Mitosis is cell division for all cells in the body except gamete cells. Meiosis is cell division for gamete cells.
What is produced in the seminiforous tubes?
Gamete cells.
In humans which cell is produced most directly by mitotic cell division?
Diploid cells (any cell that isn't a gamete).
Are the cells in mitosis genetically identical?
yes mitosis id the division of gamete cells

How is the female gamete produced?
gametes are produced by a special kind of cell division called meiosis. Meiosis produces ova (eggs) in women and sperm in men. Gametes have half the normal number of chromosomes (haploid number) - 23 chromosomes in human egg or sperm cells. For just the female gamete, the egg cell goes through the process of 'Oogenesis', which produces one female gamete and three polar bodies.
What kind of cells is produced during meiosis in the ovary?
germ cells
What is the male sex cells or sperm called?
Gamete
Sex cells are formed by what type of cell division?
Sex cells, also called gametes, are created by meiosis, a type of cell division in which the daughter cells divide the DNA in the parent cell in half rather than replicating it and creating two identical cells.
What does somatic cell and gamete cell have in common?
There is no specific relationship between them.Somatic cells are cells that form the body (or body cells). The contain diploid (2n) number of chromosomes. They divide by mitosisgametes are also called germ cells or sex cells. They contain haploid (n) number of chromosomes. They do not divide by themselves. They are produced from the primary gametocyte which undergoes a two-stage division process called meiosis
Incomplete cells are called gametes the female gamete is called the?
ovum
