Best Answer

Gametes are haploid cells used in sexual reproduction, so they can be found in the reproductive organs. Plants are a different story completely, but generally there are a place inside the organism that produces them.

They are the product of meiosis, which hopefully a graphic below will explain. It is essentially the splitting of DNA in a cell in half and then in half again to create genetic diversity and creates 4 genetically different daughter cells.
