a zygote
chromosome number
No. Each gamete is genetically different from the other gametes and from the parent cell.
The process is called Meiosis.
False , its the other way around gametes are produced by Gametangia
Possible alleles in the gametes of the parents
chromosome number
Gametes should contain one allele for each gene locus. This means that gametes will have one allele for each of the genes on the chromosomes they are carrying. It is estimated that humans have about 20,000-30,000 genes - meaning each gamete would therefore have 20,000-30,000 alleles.
No. Each gamete is genetically different from the other gametes and from the parent cell.
In animals, gametes are formed only through meiosis. Mitosis does not produce gametes. However, in autotrophs, spores composed of gametes go though mitosis to produce a gametophyte.

Gametes are produced by meiosis
meiosis is the process by which gametes are formed
states that the two alleles for a traite segregate (separte) when gametes are formed.
Even identical twins are heterozygous for many alleles. Recombination would produce gametes with many different combinations of those alleles in each individual. Their offspring, as a result, could have very different genotypes than either parent, and thus look different as well.
Heredity
segregation
gametes are produced in the ovaries and testes
