Best Answer

The ovum and spermatids are formed via meiosis (which occurs only in sex cells). From meiosis, four daughter cells are produced (in the female, three of these become polar bodies, rather than ova), each with 23 chromosomes (in humans) or the haploid number (n) in other organisms. This is significant as when fertilization occurs, the zygote (sperm + ovum) will have 46 chromosomes (or 23 pairs), the normal number for a human. So, both the ovum and spermatid are haploid sex cells (gametes), each with 23 chromosomes in humans.
