No. Embryos are created by the fusion of gametes. Once a sperm and egg cell have combined to form a zygote (which matures into an embryo) the resulting cell is no longer a gamete.

What does an egg contribute to an embryo?
It is the mother's gamete. It contains the 23 chromosomes that she provides to the embryo.
The cluster of developing cells from conception until birth is called an .?
Embryo, between the 3rd and 8th week. Fetus, after the 8th week
What does the egg cell contribute to an embryo?
organelles, molecular building blocks, and other materials that the embryo needs to begin life. the sperm's main contribution id DNA Info from my biology textbook :)
Is a mosquito a gamete or somatic?
gamete
What is female gametophyte?
Embryo sac is the female gametophyte of flowering plants. Situated in the flower. It is dependent on the sporophyte (what we call plant) for nutrition. here the gametophyte is reduced and sporophyte is dominant.In lower plants the female gametophyte is prominent and independent where it can photosynthesize. Usually it is called as a thallus. Here the sporophyte is reduced and the gametophyte is dominant.

It is the mother's gamete. It contains the 23 chromosomes that she provides to the embryo.
Which pair of gametes can unite to produce a zygote that will develop into a normal human male embryo?
The male gamete - spermatozoon and the female gamete - ovum.
What is an archegonium?
An archegonium is a multicellular reproductive structure which contains a large, non-motile gamete and within which an embryo will develop.

What is a ovule part of the female flower?
The ovule is the part of the flower where the embryo sac is housed, and the embryo sac contains the female gamete (egg), which, when fertilized by the sperm in a pollen grain, will produce a zygote. What was once a flower will become a fruit. The zygote develops in the ovule, and forms the seed, which will eventually be dispersed from the fruit to start a new generation. So, the ovule is analogous to the pollen: one contains the female gamete, and the other contains the male gamete.
Are butterfly eggs unicellular?
The gamete of butterflies are unicellular from the female. However, the egg containing the embryo is actually a multicellular egg.
How many sex cells contribute when they combine?
Generally two sex cells i. e. the male gamete combines with the egg to form the zygote that develops into a new organism (embryo).
What is the Result of a male gamete fertilizing a female gamete?
The result of a male gamete fertilizing a female gamete is a zygote.
How many chromosomes are in a mouse's gamete?
Gametes only have one set of each chromosome pair so that when two gametes come together, the chromosome number in the embryo is correct. There are 19 autosomes and one sex chromosome in the mouse gamete.
What is fertililization desccribe the process of fertilization in plants?
The union of male gamete with female gamete during sexual reproduction is known as fertilization. In lower plants, the male gamete travels through its flagella in liquid medium to reach up to the egg of the female gamete to unite but in higher plants, male gametes are contributed by the pollen grains and female gamete develops in the ovary or embryosac. After pollination, the pollen grain germinates and sends a pollen tube towards the female gamete. Reaching the egg the male gametes travelling in the pollen tube are discharged and one of the male gamete fuses with the egg to form the zygote for embryo development and the other gamete of the same pollen grain fuses with the secondary nucleus (in case of Angiospermic plants) to form the primary endosperm nucleus. This double fusion of male gametes in angiospermic plants is known as double fertilization.
Is a mosquito a gamete or somatic?
gamete
